Situated along the Red River and centered around the peaceful Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi serves as the capital city of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. To the north of this serene water body lies the vibrant Old Quarter, where each street is historically named after the specific commerce that was traditionally conducted there. Engage in a tour with a native guide; delight in a traditional water puppet show; explore prominent sites including Ho Chi Minh’s final resting place, the singularly supported One Pillar Pagoda, the Ho Chi Minh Museum, the official residence of the President, and the well-regarded Temple of Literature.
