    The aquarium and playground are based inside a mall, so it's convenient for parents. Once done with activities, there's plenty of mall restaurants to dine at. It's Abit further from the old quarter so transportation via grab or private driver is required. but all in all a fun time for the kids. Recommended if you have around 3 hours to spend. Nothing more than 3 hours though , otherwise it will get kinda dry.

    20230617 AM: 1. The "Ho Chi Minh Museum" is located in the "Ba Dinh Square" in Vietnam. Ba Dinh Square is the iconic landscape of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and the political center of Vietnam. In 1945, Ho Chi Minh, the national leader and founding father of Vietnam, announced the founding of the country in this square. After his death, his body has been stored in the "Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall" on the square. Therefore, the significance of Ba Dinh Square is similar to Tiananmen Square in my country and Red Square in Russia. It is a national assembly square. A flag-raising ceremony will be held at 6:30 every morning, and there will be a guard of honor at 10:00. "Ba Dinh" is a township in Eshan County, Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. In the 1880s, the anti-French movement "Ba Dinh Uprising" broke out in this township, and Ba Dinh Square was named to commemorate it. Admission is free, but security check is required. ① Address: Center of Hanoi, Vietnam. ② Transportation: It is easy to park by car. ③ Peak season: None. ④ Time: 2 hours. ⑤ Notes: The Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall is closed from June 14 to August 16 every year (to maintain Ho Chi Minh's crystal coffin and remains), as well as on Mondays and Fridays. 2. The "Ho Chi Minh Museum" is located on the southwest side of the square. The museum displays Ho Chi Minh's activities in various periods in a more comprehensive way, but the tour guide did not take us in because the group tour was tight. Ho Chi Minh has a deep connection with China. He has a very good relationship with Chairman Mao. Although he is 3 years older than Chairman Mao, he calls Chairman Mao "big brother". The most common saying is that the Vietnamese Communist Party was founded in 1941, 20 years later than the Chinese Communist Party. Ho Chi Minh regarded Chairman Mao as a relative. Chairman Mao also introduced him to a partner. Premier Zhou's wife Deng Yingchao also knitted a sweater for him, which shows how deep their revolutionary friendship was. During the more than 20 years that Ho Chi Minh worked and lived in China, he personally participated in China's revolutionary movement many times, fought side by side with the revolutionary leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, and was even arrested by Chiang Kai-shek. His footprints can be seen in many red scenic spots in China, such as Chongqing Hongyan Revolutionary History Museum (4A).
