In early August 2025, walking along Thuy Van Street in Bai Sau, Ho Chi Minh City, one can clearly see the detailed outline of a high-class beach and tourism area.

This is thanks to the Bai Sau renovation project, with a total investment of nearly 1.1 trillion VND, which is being expedited to complete in time for the 80th anniversary celebration.

First, the beach and sea view are now open and unobstructed, no longer blocked by hotels, restaurants, or service areas as they were a year ago.

Bai Sau has become a public space for everyone.

Along the sidewalks of Thuy Van Street, from Hoang Hoa Tham intersection to Nguyen An Ninh intersection, there are rows of 4-meter-tall palm trees planted.

Next to the walking paths in the project are rows of Lagerstroemia, tamarind, coconut, and Cassia javanica trees. In total, the park has nearly 1,800 of these trees.

Flower gardens and green spaces in the park, interspersed with walking paths, feature snowbell trees, French jasmine, sea grape, and bougainvillea, covering nearly 11,000m2. Along the paths, there are round stone blocks for resting and decoration.
