As interesting outside as inside the Cathedral marks the boundary of the Old and French Quarters in Hanoi. The front courtyard is a favorite for wedding photos and there are always throngs of people, very fun and interesting. Walk around the side to enter and you will be wrapped in the cool quiet of a traditional cathedral.

Health and safety nightmare, and not for the faint heart hearted but really good adrenaline walk. Historic bridge with railway line in the centre, parts are still missing from bombing. Built by french architect Eiffel. Worthwhile walk in my view.

Multi-storied houses, luxury cars, motorbikes, laptops, toilets, servants, passports, rice cookers, TVs, other valuable items and of course, tons and tons of Benjamins go up in flames on the sidewalks of Vietnam.

Watercolor painting class in Hanoi

Watercolors offer a lot of possibilities for creative self-expression. It is an art form that creates artistic representations, usually by brush on paper, using pigments that are water-soluble. Simply the colored blocks are swiped with a wet brush and the pigment transfers itself to the watered brush and thence to the paper.

In the queue leading up to the mausoleum you are not allowed to take any photos and obviously not in the mausoleum itself. However after the visit you can approach the entrance from the other side and take photos of the outside from a discreet distance.
Only other experience was a visit to Lenin’s tomb in Moscow so a similar experience to that.

Interesting and beautiful place
Văn Miếu Quốc Tử Giám (Temple of Literature) (Văn Miếu Quốc Tử Giám)
We opted to pick up two audio guides to help us understand more about the location. I am so glad that we did as it gave us a better understanding of the history and importance of the temples and items in display. We enjoyed talking with the touring school children- they had a lot of questions for us. I would recommend visiting first thing in Hanoi.
