Turtle Lake (Vietnamese: Hồ Con Rùa) is a lake surrounded by a traffic roundabout in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. 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. Prior to this, a 1878-built French water tower existed, which was replaced by a small lake and monument in 1921. The area is popular for street food vendors, and in 2023 was developed into a pedestrian area (wikipedia)
