Because the children are young, the family mainly visits the animal cages, ignoring the thrills. This time back, Mr. Hung found Dam Sen quite wild, empty of people, some areas are still being cleaned. “After this trip, the family has no travel plans, continue to monitor how the disease situation develops before thinking about going safely,” Hung shared.

Going to the park, Vu’s group of 7 friends in Binh Thanh district did not forget to bring a bottle of antibacterial spray to wash their hands after touching the surface of the railing, sliding door… All members of the group have had enough vaccines, always wear masks, go out for fun but are still afraid of the epidemic, so the group is quite cautious “wherever you go, spray there for peace of mind”.

“When we heard that Dam Sen welcomed guests, we immediately decided to go. We were there at 8 o’clock. The park opened. We have not been able to go out for a long time, so we are very excited. Since the distance, this is the second trip. The group had previously gone to Can Gio on a weekday to reduce crowds,” Vu shared. Dam Sen is one of the places associated with Vu’s childhood, so he misses it very much. This place has changed now, there are more modern games than before. Because of Covid-19, Dam Sen is empty, less messy feeling.

Mr. Tuan, a giraffe care worker, couldn’t hide his smile when he saw the visitors return. “I am very happy to see children coming to the zoo area, feeding the animals, taking pictures. Park staff can also go back to work, life is back to normal, everyone is happy,” said Mr. Tuan.
