Thao Cam Vien is one of the age-old zoo and botanical gardens all over the world. It was begun built in March 1864 as a botanical garden under the lead of a french tropical plants researching expert named J.B.Louis Pierre. This is a delightful place for relaxing stroll under giant tropical trees, which thrive amidst the lakes, lawns and carefully tended flower beds.The zoo is a bit run-down and here the visitors can see many different animals.
