- 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 impressive 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, Vietnam’s capital. It is considered, along with the Perfume Temple, as one of the two most iconic temples in Vietnam.
- 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 banks, outside the Yen Phu Dyke. Due to river encroachment, it was moved in 1615 to Kim Ngu (Golden Fish) islet on Ho Tay (West Lake), where it currently stands. A small causeway connects it to the mainland.
- Old Quarter - The Old Quarter is the commonly used name for Hanoi’s historical civic urban core, situated 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. Another name for this area is the 36 streets, referring to the 36 streets or guilds that once comprised the city’s urban area.
- 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 seat of the Vietnamese court 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. Many remaining structures were demolished by the 20th century. Systematic excavation of the Thang Long Imperial City ruins began in the 21st century.
In mid-1945, the Citadel was used by the Imperial Japanese Army to detain 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.”
- Hoan Kiem Lake Walking Street - Hoan Kiem Lake, meaning “Lake of the Returned Sword” or “Lake of the Restored Sword,” also known as Hồ Gươm (Sword Lake), is a freshwater lake spanning approximately 12 hectares in the historical center of Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital. Historically, the lake was called “Luc Thuy Lake,” meaning “Green Water Lake,” aptly named for its 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.
- Hoa Lo Prison - Hoa Lo Prison was used by French colonists in French Indochina for political prisoners and later by North Vietnam for U.S. prisoners of war during the Vietnam War. During this period, American POWs referred to it as the Hanoi Hilton. The prison was demolished in the 1990s, but the gatehouse remains as a museum.
