Indira Gandhi Park is an open space on the east side of the Ho Hoan Kiem lake in Hanoi, Vietnam. During the French colonial times, it was a popular venue for the colonial officers to hold events and outdoor concert.
Statue of King Ly Thai To at Indira Gandhi Park.
In 1984, the park was renamed in honour of the assassinated prime minister of India, Indira Gandhi, a fervant supporter of Vietnam. Within the park is a huge statue of King Ly Thai To, the founder and first king of the Ly Dynasty. I have a page dedicated to describing the statue and King Ly Thai To in more detail.

As with Ho Hoan Kiem, Indira Gandhi is often a busy meeting spot for the people of Hanoi, who come here to exercise, do "tai chi", play ball, dance, and generally relax.
How to go to Indira Gandhi Park
Indira Gandhi Park is located on the east side of Ho Hoan Kiem, the Lake of the Returned Sword. If you are walking south along Dinh Tien Hoang street, it is on your left side. Look out for King Ly Thai To's statue, as shown on this page.
