We head out to see the Museum and Mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh. The mausoleum serves as the legendary Vietnamese revolutionary Ho Chi Minh's final resting place. It is a representation of the Vietnamese people's appreciation and reverence for President Ho Chi Minh. All that is noteworthy about Ho Chi Minh is conserved at the Ho Chi Minh Museum. The Museum was opened on September 2, 1990, to commemorate the revered President's 100th birthday. It spans five large floors. The well-known One Pillar Pagoda is nearby and merits a cursory glance. The building, which King Ly Thai To erected in 1049, has come to represent essential aspects of Hanoi culture. Following that, we will go on to see the Literature Temple and Quoc Tu Giam, which was built in 1070 and is Vietnam's first university. Its gardens and tastefully restored buildings provide a calming window into Vietnam's history. After your meal at a neighborhood eatery, we'll head to the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. This is the newest museum in Hanoi, Vietnam, and it's also arguably the biggest and most fascinating. For those who would enjoy some green space and are eager to learn about Vietnam's multiculturalism, this is worth a comprehensive visit. Next, we will make a stop at Sword Lake to explore the legend surrounding the lake and pay a visit to Ngoc Son Temple. Following your visit to Sword Lake, get on our shuttle bus and head to Richsaw Cycle Parking for an hour-long tour exploring Hanoi's historic district and the everyday lives of its residents.
