Explore Vietnam’s capital city. Stroll
the Temple of Literature, the first university in Vietnam, dating back to the
11th century, and see Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, the simple stilt house where he
lived and worked, and the museum dedicated to his memory. After lunch, you’ll
call at the serene Tran Quoc Pagoda, Hanoi’s oldest, on the banks of West
Lake. Finally, explore the
bustling Old Quarter, a maze of streets packed with shops and restaurants
which, although noisy and hectic, is definitely the heart of the city.
