Thong Nhat Park is supposed to be a beautiful, huge park where people can go biking, joging, walking, or simply sit around and have a chat. However, it is currently under renovation, apparently for more than a year now. It was originally named Lenin Park, but now they renamed it and the new Lenin Park is now just a small patch of green in Ba Dinh District (however the Lenin Statue still stands in a mini-park that can be seen on the way to the HCM Museum and the Presidential Palace.
We drove around it nonetheless, and we saw that they are actually dredging the lake and constructing some erosion-control structures on the banks.
The Hanoi Circus is beside Thong Nhat Park and right in front of Hotel Nikko. It is one of the influences of the former Soviet Union, who brought in the circus trade to Vietnam. The Hanoi Circus opens on Sundays only.
