Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

Snapshot of Hanoi A city of tree-lined avenues and ornate architecture, which holds more cultural sites than any other city in the country, the Vietnamese capital still exudes all the colonial elegance of its French heritage. Lying besides the Red River it has enjoyed a prominent place in Vietnam’s turbulent history for nearly 1,000 years, a factor reflected in its wealth of pagodas and temples and the myriad artisans trading amongst its colourful and diverse network of back streets..... With the charming Old Quarter featuring architecture from the French-Colonial era, Hanoi cultivates a fusion of Parisian and Asian influences to become a city of colonial legacy and modern outlook.
