Hanoi Historical Tour-Full Day

Hanoi full day City Tour

A treat for all history lovers – Hanoi’s History Museum and One Pillar Pagoda are a must-see!


Overview
Spend a family vacation in Hanoi as you tour around the city’s History Museum and the crystalline Hoan Kiem Lake. The lake represents the spiritual heart of the city. It derived its name from a legend involving emperor Le Thai To who came across a giant tortoise while cruising on the lake. The tortoise took his sword with which he had secured victory against the Chinese aggressors of the Minh Dynasty. The emperor named the lake after this episode. Visit the Ngoc Son Pagoda, which was built in the 19th century on a small island on Hoan Kiem Lake. Vietnam’s literary genius, Saint Van Xuong was worshipped in this temple along with Tran Hung Dao, a national hero who led Vietnamese people to victory over Chinese and Mongolian invaders. Get a slice of Vietnam’s history at the Hanoi History Museum, which displays centuries old relics that marked the country’s historical developments. On the second floor of the museum, you’ll see gongs, thrones and altars from the Nguyen Dynasties. Visit the Hanoi Opera House, the largest and oldest theatre in Vietnam and marvel at the French architecture and the traditional Gothic and Mosaic characters etched out on the doors. The Opera House is popular for its theatre performances, traditional music and classical opera. Also visit the One Pillar Pagoda, an architecturally-unique example of Vietnam’s pagodas. First built in 1049 during the Ly Dynasty, the pagoda is in the shape of a blooming lotus. Find out the interesting story behind the lotus shape of the pagoda! You’ll also visit the Temple of Literature, founded in 1070 by King Ly Thanh Tong to pay tribute to education and high academic achievers. Six years later, it became Hanoi’s first university. Explore Vietnam’s traditions and admire the city’s architectural splendours in this family vacation in Hanoi.
