Turtle Lake (Vietnamese: Hồ Con Rùa) is a lake surrounded by a traffic roundabout in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.[1][2][3] Located at the intersection of Pham Ngoc Thach, Tran Cao Van and Vo Van Tan streets, the lake is adorned with a modernist monument designed by architect Nguyễn Kỳ, and unveiled in 1969.[4] Prior to this, a 1878-built French water tower existed, which was replaced by a small lake and monument in 1921.[5][6] The area is popular for street food vendors, and in 2023 was developed into a pedestrian area.[7][8][9][10]
