Vinhomes Central Park

This guide to Vinhomes Central Park in Ho Chi Minh City traces this stretch of the Saigon River back to 1967, when it served as Newport, a United States Army logistics base built to handle the flood of troops arriving for the war. You'll hear how four deep-draft berths once unloaded ships side by side here, and how the port sat quiet for decades after 1975 before the site rose again as a riverside township. Listen for the echo of that history in the ground beneath the walking paths.
