Ho Chi Minh Complex inclusive of his Mausoleum, the house-on-stilts, the quaint One-Pillar pagoda nearby.

Next, you will visit Quan Thanh Temple - formerly known as Tran Vu Temple, is a Taoist temple in Hanoi,Vietnam. Famous as one of 4 Sacred Temples of ancient Thang Long citadel (White Horse Temple in the East, Temple of Kneeling Elephant in the West, and Kim Lien Temple in the South) and dated to the 11th century, the temple was one of the principal deities in Taoism and also one of the leading tourist attractions in Hanoi nowadays.

Get on the car and transfer to local restaurant then having lunch and relax.

In the afternoon, you will head to visit the Museum of History which have wonderful architecture and Vietnam’s history with very large displays covering every period. You may have to make full use of imagination as well as sensitivity to understand artifacts and relics exhibited in the museum. This is good chance for you to test your ability to perceive art because the descriptions of the objects are quite sparse that most of them are in Vietnamese and only indentify what the object is rather than what is its meaning.

Afterward, you will discover Hoan Kiem Lake, Ngoc Son Temple, ‘The Huc’ Bridge and a trip by ‘green cars’ in the Old Quarter – a great chance to mingle with Hanoians in their daily hectic life.

End the day with The Show of Water Puppetry, a stage art invented by the Vietnamese peasants hundred years ago, with nearly 20 stories of Vietnam traditions and daily scenes will be the last activity.

In the evening we will take you back to your hotel.
