Hanoi Through Three Iconic Landmarks

Discover Hanoi on a unique tour: from the Tran Quoc Pagoda to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and on to the Temple of Literature. An unmissable journey through Vietnamese history.

During this tour, you’ll visit three iconic sites in Hanoi, each representing a different aspect of Vietnamese history and culture:

- Tran Quoc Pagoda: You’ll learn about the history of Hanoi’s oldest pagoda, the origins and development of Buddhism in Vietnam, as well as the country’s main religious traditions and beliefs.

- Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum: You’ll learn about Ho Chi Minh’s life, philosophy, and legacy, as well as his role in the struggle for independence and the founding of modern Vietnam. You’ll also delve into the French colonial period, the wars against France and the United States, the country’s reunification, and the living conditions of the Vietnamese people during the war years.

- Temple of Literature: You’ll explore Vietnam’s first university, the Confucian tradition, the imperial examination system, the value of education in Vietnamese society, and the importance of the culture of learning that still characterizes the country today.
