Quảng trường Hồ Chí Minh

A large public square in Dương Đông, the kind of open civic space that fills up in the cool of the evening when local families come out to walk, kids ride scooters and street vendors set up. There's usually a statue or monument as the centrepiece and room to breathe away from the market crush. It's not a tourist sight as such, more a slice of everyday town life, and free to wander through. Come at dusk when it's liveliest, grab a snack from a cart, and watch the town relax after the heat of the day. A short, no-cost local stop.
