Hoa Lo Prison Relic Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Hanoi Stove Prison Museum, also known as Hua Lu Prison, "Stove" was originally a village where ceramic kilns were made. This is a prison built by the French in North Vietnam. In 1993, the Furnace Prison was converted into the Hanoi Tower Office Building, and the southeast corner of about 1/3 the size of the original site was retained as the Prison Museum.

The situation at that time can be conveyed. Since it was done in northern Vietnam, there was a place to visit the grave inside.
A very interesting half-day trip, we walk around the prison, where you can learn about the years of American pilots being held here, but that's just a small part of the history of the prison. Built by the French in the late 1800s, this is where the French have committed many atrocities against the Vietnamese people, men and women, for a long time, and executed at the guillotine, one of which is on display. There is a lot of knowledge and historical materials to learn, as well as two incidents in which Vietnamese prisoners escaped from prison through sewers. Not everyone likes history, but it is difficult to stay in Vietnam without encountering the relationship with history. Some exhibits are very solemn and some descriptions are a bit exaggerated. It is always a Communist country, and half of the letter is enough.
Hualu Prison was left behind to commemorate the war. Although it is totally different from the prison of that year, it still retains the layout of that year. What we can see now is the weakening part of the actual scene, but we can still see the cruel side of the war, the soul of the unjust death seems to be still crying in prison. No war, we want peace.
I think it is worthwhile to go to the exhibition hall and correct the ticket price: 30,000 adults per person, free children, with Vietnamese, English and French interpretation and signs, can understand a lot of the history of that time, see European and American tourists, especially American tourists are most interested.
It is a place where there is a painful story that deeply understands the dark history of Vietnam and reminds us of our Japanese colonial period.
