Description

Begin with a hotel pickup, and set off in a private car to discover Hanoi. Visit the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Ba Dinh Square, the final resting place of Ho Chi Minh, the popular leader of Vietnam, known as “Uncle Ho.” See where his body is preserved in a glass case, albeit against his wishes. Next, visit the Temple of Literature, often cited as one of Hanoi’s most picturesque tourist attractions. Originally built as a university in 1070 dedicated to Confucius, scholars and sages, the building is extremely well preserved and is a superb example of traditional-style Vietnamese architecture. Cross to Dong Xuan Market, the largest wholesale market in Hanoi dating back to 1889. Find a wide range of commodities from fabric, clothing, local handicrafts, souvenirs, and street foods. Then, stop at St. Joseph's Cathedral located on Nha Chung Street. Admire this Roman Catholic cathedral with neo-gothic style which was built about 120 years ago. Then, witness local life at Hanoi Train Street with a real railway line running through the road. Continue to the Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake) which is the heart of Hanoi, not only geographically but also symbolically. Make your way to the Hanoi Opera House, erected by the French colonial administration between the 1901s and 1911s. Pass by Old Quarter Ta Hien Corner, and bid farewell to your guide before returning to your hotel.
