Uninteresting place, nothing much to see and almost all descriptions in Vietnamese… Not worth the walk, taxi or Gran (Uber local). Crowed with girls making photo shots in some improbable clothes.

There's not much to see here to be honest. I wouldn't suggest making a special trip just to go here. It's pretty hot (no AC) and the signage isn't great in English. Go to the art museum instead!
