Turtle Lake (Hồ Con Rùa) is a small circular park and roundabout in District 3, named after a turtle sculpture that once stood here. Surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and tree-lined streets, it's a popular evening hangout for locals and a great area for exploring authentic Saigon.
The Turtle Lake area is perfect for an evening stroll, but walking the neighborhood can be tiring. After exploring the cafes and street food, a massage back at your accommodation is the ideal way to end the day.
Turtle Lake is located in District 3, one of Ho Chi Minh City's most visited areas.
District 3 is a residential and commercial district in Ho Chi Minh City, known for French colonial villas and the War Remnants Museum. MassageGo delivers professional in-room massage throughout District 3 from 400,000 VND — free delivery to all hotels and residences. Novotel Saigon Centre and Mövenpick Hotel Saigon are among the key hotels served, with Tan Dinh Church and Turtle Lake nearby.

“Turtle Lake in the evening is surprisingly peaceful — locals exercising, families sitting out. Walked back from there through District 3 and stopped for pho. Got back to the apartment and booked a Thai massage. Therapist was there within the hour. 90 minutes later I felt like I'd had a proper day off.”
