Wild natural world in the middle of Saigon

Even in the heart of a megacity filled with traffic and dust, amidst the concrete blocks, there are still small, resilient creatures: chirping birds, quiet little animals and resilient insects.

On the tamarind trees along Nguyen Du Street, brown squirrels run and jump in search of ripe fruit. Sparrows chirp amid the chaos of car horns. In Tao Dan Park, sunbirds find flower buds full of sweet nectar.

In the vacant lots of the suburbs, doves still sing their melodious songs, snakes hide in the grass. Crickets chirp along the canals, and bees build nests under the eaves of houses.

They sneak in to find a place to live, decorating Saigon with fragile, vibrant features, telling us stories of life and hope.

Many parents want their children to be closer to nature, but think it is necessary to go far, worrying about wasting time and money.

But if you really care about instilling a love of nature in children's hearts and enriching their knowledge about nature, Saigon is not lacking in interesting stories. These photos of birds, reptiles, and insects were all taken right in Saigon: Hung Temple (Thu Duc), Tao Dan (District 1), Anh Sao Bridge Park (District 7)...
