Chennai Places to See
Guindy National Park
Once this was all part of Governor's Estate. Now it is fragmented and the major part is a thickly forested game sanctuary where the spotted deer and the black buck roam about and a wealth of smaller fauna thrive.
This is the country's only Wild Life Sanctuary within a city's limits. Raj Bhavan, the Governer's mansion, occupies one end of the park, and at the other is the beautiful forest-girt campus of Chennai's famous Indian Institute of Technology, one of Asia's foremost technical educational institutions.
In between, and edging the road, are a famous Cancer Institute, a children's park with its own mini zoo and mini-railway, a snake park, rich in reptiles, and Memorials to Gandhiji, Rajaji, the first Indian Governer -General, and Kamaraj, a great national leader. Latest addition to this array of memorials is that of Bakthavatchalam, former chief minister of Tamil Nadu.
Opposite the park are the Anna University of Technology, whose nucleus was the oldest technical school in the East; and the Central Leather Reasearch Institute. To the east of the park as well as at the back of it sprawls the campus of the Central Institute of Technology. Not far away is one of the country's finest Race-courses.
