Tam Bac Lake and Flower Market

Tam Bac Lake is located not far from the old colonial quarter and is a nice place to relax after a busy work day. The trees along the lake banks make the visit a pleasant walk. Visitors will see an interesting flower market or Flower market at the eastern side of the lake. It was established around 1941 by the French as a small centre selling fresh flowers and is made up of five beautiful arched-roof kiosks. Also within easy walking distance not far from the lake area stands the Le Chan Woman General Statue, the founder of Hai Phong. The brass-cast statue weighs 19 tons – one of heaviest statues in the country.
