Hanoi Botanical Garden, located in the heart of Hanoi, Vietnam, is a tranquil haven of lush greenery and natural beauty in an otherwise busy city. Spanning an area of approximately 10 hectares, this botanical garden is one of the oldest of its kind in Hanoi, established during the French colonial period in the 19th century.

Visitors can enjoy a variety of plant species, from local Vietnamese flora to exotic plants sourced from different parts of the world. The garden features well-manicured lawns, serene ponds, and shaded pathways, making it ideal for leisurely walks and relaxation. It's not uncommon to see families picnicking, artists capturing the scenery, and joggers taking advantage of the peaceful environment. Additionally, the garden houses several monuments and statues, adding to its cultural significance.
