Hanoi is an amazing and excessively rich city. And here there are both places connected with the history of the millennial prescription and the imperial era of Vietnam, as well as the colonial sights of French times. Not to mention the newest attractions, the first among which is the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum.
The mausoleum was built by our compatriot, the author of the Lenin memorial complex. He also designed the building of the Ho Chi Minh Museum, which stands next to the mausoleum. Together, they form a single architectural complex, which includes three more buildings: the presidential palace, which is still used in this capacity, the wooden house of Ho Chi Minh on stilts and an old pagoda on one pillar (which has nothing to do with Ho Chi Minh, but must be examined due to its beauty and antiquity.)

Today, you can see a lot of ancient buildings distributed between the five courtyards, as well as historical stele of doctors with ancient engravings.

And one of the most famous Buddhist sanctuaries is located about 60 km from Hanoi, but it should also be visited: this temple is called "Aromatic Pagoda" . Today it is a whole temple complex, and up to the pagoda located in a cave, you will not have to ithout difficulties, but it is worth . But the oldest Buddhist pagoda in Hanoi has about 1400 years; this pagoda Chan-Kook . Unfortunately, in its present form it does not much resemble the original construction, but in any case a small pagoda on the island in the Western lake is very beautiful .
By the way, about the lakes: they play the role of full sights in Hanoi. The city has a lot of water and a lot of water. The already mentioned great West Lake is a favorite place for resting Hanoi and tourists. On its banks are walking areas and bicycle paths, cafes and restaurants. The Lake of the Returned Sword is much smaller, but much more sacred: a beautiful ancient legend is associated with it. On the Jade Island in this lake, which can be reached by a beautiful wooden bridge, there is a temple of the same name.
