Hồ cá Trí Nguyên is a well-known landmark in Nha Trang, Vietnam, essentially a large fish pond that functions as an open-air aquarium. The site features several interconnected ponds stocked with a variety of colorful fish, including koi and other tropical species. Visitors can walk along bridges and platforms that crisscross the water, offering close-up views of the fish. It's a family-friendly attraction where you can feed the fish (food is available for purchase) and enjoy the tranquil setting.

It's a pleasant spot to spend an hour, especially for children.
