• Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum - The President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is the final resting place of the Vietnamese Revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh, located in Hanoi, Vietnam. This grand structure is situated in the heart of Ba Dinh Square, where Ho, who served as Chairman of the Workers’ Party of Vietnam from 1951 until his passing in 1969, proclaimed the Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945, founding the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Also known as Ba Đình Mausoleum, it is accessible to the public.
• One Pillar Pagoda - The One Pillar Pagoda is a historic Buddhist temple in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. It is considered, along with the Perfume Temple, as one of Vietnam’s two most iconic temples.
• Chua Tran Quoc - The Tran Quoc Pagoda in Hanoi is the city’s oldest pagoda, originally built in the sixth century during Emperor Ly Nam De’s reign (from 544 to 548), making it over 1,450 years old. Initially named Khai Quoc (National Founding), the temple was located on the Red River’s shores, outside the Yen Phu Dyke. Due to river encroachment, it was moved in 1615 to Kim Ngu (Golden Fish) islet of Ho Tay (West Lake), where it currently stands. A small causeway connects it to the mainland.
• Imperial Citadel of Thang Long - The royal enclosure was initially constructed during the Ly dynasty (1010) and later expanded by the Tran, Le, and finally the Nguyen dynasty. It served as the Vietnamese court’s seat until 1810, when the Nguyen dynasty relocated the capital to Hue. The ruins roughly align with today’s Hanoi Citadel.

By the late 19th century, the royal palaces and most structures in Thăng Long were in disrepair due to the French conquest of Hanoi. By the 20th century, many remaining structures were demolished. Only in the 21st century have the ruin foundations of Thang Long Imperial City been systematically excavated.

In mid-1945, the Citadel was used by the Imperial Japanese Army to imprison over 4,000 French colonial soldiers captured during the Japanese coup d’état in French Indochina in March 1945.

The central sector of the imperial citadel was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 31, 2010, during its session in Brazil, as “The Central Sector of the Imperial Citadel of Thăng Long – Hanoi.”

• Hoa Lo Prison - Hoa Lo Prison was utilized by French colonists in French Indochina for political prisoners and later by North Vietnam for U.S. prisoners of war during the Vietnam War.

• Old Quarter - The Old Quarter is the historical civic urban core of Hanoi, located outside the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long. This area was once the residential, manufacturing, and commercial hub, with each street specializing in a specific type of manufacturing or commerce.

Historically, the lake was called “Luc Thuy Lake,” meaning “Green Water Lake,” aptly named for the water’s color, or “Thuy Quan Lake,” meaning “Mariner’s Lake.” The lake is a major scenic spot in the city and serves as a focal point for public life.
• Temple of Literature & National University - The Temple of Literature is a Temple of Confucius in Hanoi, northern Vietnam. It houses the Imperial Academy, Vietnam’s first national university.
