Victor22Beautiful lake with a small but very attractive temple to visit. The small pagoda on an islet in the middle of the lake is unique. It is very pleasant to cross the red bridge to visit the temple and walk around the lake which shores are not crowded with people.Hanoi356m from downtownFree

欧阳彬Vietnam is in the Han cultural circle, and since ancient times, it has been in addition to the faith of Buddha, Taoism and Confucian culture. In modern 1858, the Xianfeng Dynasty brought Christianity and Catholicism into the Central and Southern Peninsula with the French colonial period. Vietnam coexisted with multi-religious and multi-faith. St. Joseph's Cathedral, also known as Hanoi Cathedral, was completed on Christmas Eve 1886 during the French colonial period. Free free visit to prayer during the day, and wedding activities are more special, which is now a popular scene in Hanoi.Hanoi670m from downtownFree
3. Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre

微笑爱旅行Many years ago, I read a travel book about Vietnam, and I learned that Hanoi's water puppets have become the symbol and national essence of Vietnam. Therefore, I booked tickets through Trip.com for a long time before departure. I wanted to have a better location, so I booked a luxury seat. The actual feeling is that the seat is still very middle. Also, if you want to go ahead. If you see more clearly, you need to buy the most high-end ticket types. Overall, you are very satisfied. There are almost no seats on the scene. The musical instruments on both sides and the singing and harmony of middle-aged women make the whole performance more three-dimensional and local ethnic style. On the right side of the ticket office, there is a poster-like slogan. It is a rare experience to show that this is the world's longest-running water puppet drama. But the tip for the on-site purchase is actually only 150000 10,000 dong, about 10 yuan lower than the purchase price of Trip.com, and you need to change tickets in advance. The ticket exchange place is about 700 meters west of the performance theater. A local good travel agency belongs to the 36th Street area, so this drama seems to be 50 minutes. In fact, the ticket exchange plus walking, and waiting, are actually close to 1:5 hours.Hanoi464m from downtownFrom AU$ 7.38

AlicehoA rare breed of turtle enjoys this popular lake almost as much as countless locals and tourists. Hoan Kiem Lake is a dynamic daily tableau, from morning walks amid locals doing exercises on the shore, to young couples water-gazing on park benches, to the multiple shopping and sight-seeing opportunities in the vicinity. Centrally located in the city, Hoan Kiem Lake serves as a massive home base, and provides endless people-watching and recreational opportunities on the edge of the Old Quarter.Hanoi11.1km from downtownFree

Kelly PhTemple of literature is the place where Vietnamese pupils often go to pray for success in their high school graduation and university entrance exams. The temple was free before, but since there are many exhibitions and events are held here, you need to buy tickets to go inside. You can also go there to ask for/buy calligraphy for the words of your choice as well.Hanoi2.1km from downtown

郭润龙浪迹天涯20230617 Morning: 1. "Duzhu Temple" is located in "Bating Square" in Vietnam. Bating Square is an iconic landscape in Hanoi, Vietnam's capital. The political center of Vietnam, in 1945, Vietnam's national leader and father of the country Ho Chi Minh announced the founding of the country in this square. His body has been stored in the "Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall" on the square. Therefore, the significance of Bating Square is similar to China's Tiananmen Square and Russia's Red Square. It is a national assembly square, with flag-raising ceremony held every 6:30 in the morning and honor guards at 10:00. "Bating" is a township in Eshan County, Qinghua Province, Vietnam. In 1880s, the anti-French movement "Bating Uprising" broke out in this township. Bating Square was named as a memorial. Entering the park is free and requires security checks. ① Address: downtown Hanoi, Vietnam. ② Transportation: It is easy to drive. ③ peak season: No. ④ duration: 2 hours. ⑤ Note: The Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall is closed from June 14 to August 16 every year (maintaining Ho Chi Minh's crystal coffins and remains), and every Monday and Friday. 2. Duzhu Temple is not far from the southwest side of Bating Square. It was built in 1049 and rebuilt in 1955. The second king of Li Chao, Vietnam, dreamed that Guanyin was standing on the lotus pond with a baby. In 1954, the French army destroyed the temple when it retreated, leaving only stone pillars left, and the following year it was rebuilt. As the name implies, there is only a 4-meter-high stone pillar standing in the pool holding a small Buddha, only one, the stairs are only for 2 people to walk side by side, it is said that this temple is very practical, so the crowd of visitors is slightly crowded. There are lotus flowers in the pool and a small fountain sprayed. The ancient architecture around the temple is hung with color paintings of Buddhist stories, and there is no Chinese to understand the meaning.Hanoi2.4km from downtownFree

The area of Bating Square is not large, the area is14.5 hectares, and the red letter with a striking blue bottom is marked with the slogan "Long live the Socialist Republic of Vietnam / Chairman Ho Chi Minh will always live in our hearts". Near the square there is: ① Big Lawn: On the east side of the square, it is grid-like, and you can walk on the stone road in the grass. The lawn is the best photo and photo spot for taking pictures of the main entrance of the square. ② Communist Party of Vietnam Party Department: In the building on the northeast side of the square, there is a Vietnamese national emblem hanging on it, which is very similar to the Chinese national emblem, but it is the same difference as the national flag from 5 stars to 1 star. Vietnamese people can hang the national flag, but it is illegal to hang the national emblem. ③ Offices of various departments of the Vietnamese government: on the periphery of the large lawn, across the road. 3, Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall is located in the center of the square, built in 1975, is a square building shaped like "Lenin's Tomb", very conspicuous, the two lines of Vietnamese characters on the building are "Chairman / Ho Chi Minh", the title in the former name after the, and the Chinese title order is the opposite. The museum is placed with a crystal coffin containing Ho Chi Minh's remains for tourists to look up. The function is the same as the "Chairman Mao Memorial Hall" in Tiananmen Square, but unfortunately today is the maintenance of the remains from June 14 to August 16 every year. I regret that I did not enter the museum this time. 4. The "Former Residence of Ho Chi Minh/President's Mansion" is located on the northwest side of the square. It is a garden-style French building complex, including: ① Chairman's Mansion: a bright yellow French villa built by French Auguste • Henry, built in 1906, with a total of 30 rooms. It was named one of the 13 most beautiful residences in the world by the American Architectural Digest magazine. During the French colonial period, the presidential palace was used as the "pre-French Indochina Federal Governor's Mansion". After Japan's defeat and surrender in 1945, according to the division of the Allied headquarters, China assumed the task of landing in Vietnam north of 16 degrees north latitude. In this building, the famous anti-Japanese patriotic general Lu Han participated as a Chinese representative. The ceremony accepted the surrender of six people, including Japanese representatives and 38th Army Commander Tuqiao Yongyi, and became the only overseas landing place in China. The presidential palace then served as the office of successive Vietnamese presidents, including Ho Chi Minh (that is, Vietnam's current...word limit is exceeded, and continues in the last picture...Hanoi2.3km from downtownFree
