77 Reviews On September 2, 1969, Ho Chi Minh died from cardiac failure. He had stated in his will that he wanted to be cremated and to have his ashes buried in the hills of the north, centre and south of Vietnam. But the successor Communist government violated his wish and Ho Chi Minh was embalmed following...
70 Reviews Water puppet theatre is a traditional art form in Vietnam, and has existed for more than 1000 years. The Puppeteers use bamboo poles to move their puppets around the small pond that forms the stage. I must admit that they are very skilful, but water puppet theatre never caught my interest. I think...
96 Reviews Ngoc Son Temple (meaning “Jade Mountain”) is located on an island of Hoan Kiem Lake in central Hanoi. It honours some national heroes, and was founded in the 14th century, but the current temple buildings are from the around 1850. You have to walk through the Three-Passage Gate (Tam Quan) and...
66 Reviews The Temple of Literature (Van Mieu) is one of the oldest sights in Hanoi. It was founded in 1070 by Emperor Ly Tranh Tong, and is a shrine to the Chinese philosopher Confucius. A very beautiful and tranquil place, and without doubt the most impressive temple we visited in Hanoi. The Temple of...
43 Reviews The One-Pillar Pagoda (Chua Mot Cot) is located between the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and the Ho Chi Minh Museum. The pagoda was built in 1049 (uncertain) and resembles a giant lotus blossom.

40 Reviews I love this place and will continue to frequent for one reason only: the roll-your-own fresh ginger beef nem. Costs 50,000, and it's enough to feed two people as a large appetizer. at only 55,000 - 60,000 VND for a large main with rice, it's great value too. Definitely try the beef (or pork, or...
37 Reviews I guess i'm in the luck making the right decision leading my group of 40 pax opt not going to this restaurant at the end of Hanoi-Ha Long Bay visit. We're heading to airport unexpectedly early (something fishy) and no thanks to the local tour guide keep bragging about this 200 yrs. old restaurant...
18 Reviews I found the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre without any problems and got a ticket for the 15.15 show, $3, which included a cassette of the show's music. I went back to my room and had a shower and changed clothes before I left to see the water puppets. My seat was on the front row, so I was able to...

41 Reviews This is a very chic and cool shop, situated near Hanoi's most happening district (where Vincom Towers stand). It caters to young women's needs of finding a beautiful garment of fine quality at a reasonable style. Their pieces follow classic and retro trends, with a modern twist. Young women in Hanoi...
40 Reviews This is the best quality of lacquerware I've seen in Hanoi, Saigon, Bangkok and northern Thailand. The prices are high compared to other shops, but the difference in quality is remarkable. Dishes, bowls, coasters, boxes, lamps and similar Don't expect much more than 10-15% discount from list prices...

If you dont want what they have dont show the slightest interest as do seem to sell you somethign you dont really want Just keep walking if you see then and if you want...
14 Reviews I felt into the traps 3 times, even I am extremely careful: 1. Took a taxi from one of the museum to the city, should cost around 40,000 Dong. The meter jumps so fast that I ended up paying about 5 times more. BUT, this is not the end of it. After I tried to consult the driver the price per...

45 Reviews Hoan Kiem Lake means "Lake of the Restored Sword" --in the 15th century, legend has it that a young fisherman named Le Loi found a magic sword caught in his net. For 10 years (1407-1417) he used the magic sword to win victory over Chinese invaders. He crowned himself King Ly Thai To, and one day he...
4 Reviews Vietnamese people are early birds. Vietnamese people are badminton cracks. You should know this before! So if you're interested in watching sports get up early and visit Ho Hoan Kiem or Lenin Park. It is not uncommon to see people playing badminton as fast as tennis pros early in the morning! The...
33 Reviews Currency fluctuates all the time, so what you see today may not be what is the going rate tomorrow. I know that in HCMC at the airport there are about six currency exchanges at the exit of the airport. Of the six, there were four different rates of exchange. I am pretty sure Hanoi has the same. It...
