This is one of nine key projects implementing the policy of transforming vacant land into public parks, increasing green spaces and community living areas, and contributing to improving the quality of life for urban residents in Ho Chi Minh City.
Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Tran Luu Quang and other delegates visited Ly Thai To Park No. 1 Square.
The 6-meter-tall "Water Drop" monument is crafted from mirror-finish stainless steel, with a heart-shaped interior – a symbol of gratitude and love.
The project was funded through social mobilization, with Sun Group Corporation fully sponsoring and directly constructing it. The project was completed after more than 90 days and nights of continuous work following a "3 shifts, 4 teams" model, with hundreds of engineers and workers working through the night to ensure it was ready for use.
The highlight of the park is a 1,800 m² circular square , featuring a 6-meter-tall "Water Drop" monument crafted from mirrored stainless steel, with a heart-shaped interior – a symbol of gratitude and love. The surrounding space is adorned with 9 steps, 360 water candles, and nearly 1,000 lighting points, creating a solemn atmosphere to commemorate those who lost their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, delivered a speech.
The Chairman of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City also stated that the COVID-19 pandemic was an exceptionally difficult period that the city will never forget, when many neighborhoods were silent, ambulances operated throughout the night, and thousands of officials, doctors, nurses, soldiers, and volunteers had to temporarily set aside their personal affairs and dedicate themselves to the front lines to protect the health and lives of the people.
According to him, thanks to the timely leadership of the Party and the State, the unity of the people, and the joint efforts of the business community and social organizations, the city has overcome challenges and is gradually recovering and developing. Support models for the people such as "rice ATMs," free meals, and charitable transportation services are evidence of the city's tradition of compassion and sharing.
