Many years ago, I read a travel book about Vietnam, and I learned that Hanoi's water puppets have become the symbol and national essence of Vietnam. Therefore, I booked tickets through Trip.com for a long time before departure. I wanted to have a better location, so I booked a luxury seat. The actual feeling is that the seat is still very middle. Also, if you want to go ahead. If you see more clearly, you need to buy the most high-end ticket types. Overall, you are very satisfied. There are almost no seats on the scene. The musical instruments on both sides and the singing and harmony of middle-aged women make the whole performance more three-dimensional and local ethnic style. On the right side of the ticket office, there is a poster-like slogan. It is a rare experience to show that this is the world's longest-running water puppet drama. But the tip for the on-site purchase is actually only 150000 10,000 dong, about 10 yuan lower than the purchase price of Trip.com, and you need to change tickets in advance. The ticket exchange place is about 700 meters west of the performance theater. A local good travel agency belongs to the 36th Street area, so this drama seems to be 50 minutes. In fact, the ticket exchange plus walking, and waiting, are actually close to 1:5 hours.

A rare breed of turtle enjoys this popular lake almost as much as countless locals and tourists. Hoan Kiem Lake is a dynamic daily tableau, from morning walks amid locals doing exercises on the shore, to young couples water-gazing on park benches, to the multiple shopping and sight-seeing opportunities in the vicinity. Centrally located in the city, Hoan Kiem Lake serves as a massive home base, and provides endless people-watching and recreational opportunities on the edge of the Old Quarter.

20230617 morning: 1. "Pating Square" is an iconic landscape in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The political center of Vietnam. In 1945, Vietnam's national leader and father of the country, Ho Chi Minh, announced the founding of the country in this square. His body has been stored in the "Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall" on the square. Therefore, the significance of Bating Square is similar to China's Tiananmen Square and Russia's Red Square. It is a national assembly square, with flag-raising ceremony held every 6:30 in the morning and honor guards at 10:00. "Bating" is a township in Eshan County, Qinghua Province, Vietnam. In 1880s, the anti-French movement "Bating Uprising" broke out in this township. Bating Square was named as a memorial. Entering the park is free and requires security checks. ① Address: downtown Hanoi, Vietnam. ② Transportation: It is easy to drive. ③ peak season: No. ④ duration: 2 hours. ⑤ Note: The Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall is closed from June 14 to August 16 every year (maintaining Ho Chi Minh's crystal coffins and remains), and every Monday and Friday. 2. The area of Bating Square is not large, the area is14.5 hectares, and the red letter with a striking blue bottom is marked with the slogan "Long live the Socialist Republic of Vietnam / Chairman Ho Chi Minh will always live in our hearts". Near the square there is: ① Big Lawn: On the east side of the square, it is grid-like, and you can walk on the stone road in the grass. The lawn is the best photo and photo spot for taking pictures of the main entrance of the square. ② Communist Party of Vietnam Party Department: In the building on the northeast side of the square, there is a Vietnamese national emblem hanging on it, which is very similar to the Chinese national emblem, but it is the same difference as the national flag from 5 stars to 1 star. Vietnamese people can hang the national flag, but it is illegal to hang the national emblem. ③ Offices of various departments of the Vietnamese government: on the periphery of the large lawn, across the road. 3, Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall is located in the center of the square, built in 1975, is a square building shaped like "Lenin's Tomb", very conspicuous, the two lines of Vietnamese characters on the building are "Chairman / Ho Chi Minh", the title in the former name after the, and the Chinese title order is the opposite. The museum is placed with a crystal coffin containing Ho Chi Minh's remains for tourists to look up. The function is the same as the "Chairman Mao Memorial Hall" in Tiananmen Square, but unfortunately today is the maintenance of the remains from June 14 to August 16 every year. I regret that I did not enter the museum this time. 4. The "Former Residence of Ho Chi Minh/President's Mansion" is located on the northwest side of the square. It is a garden-style French building complex, including: ① Chairman's Mansion: a bright yellow French villa built by French Auguste • Henry, built in 1906, with a total of 30 rooms. It was named one of the 13 most beautiful residences in the world by the American Architectural Digest magazine. During the French colonial period, the presidential palace was used as the "pre-French Indochina Federal Governor's Mansion". After Japan's defeat and surrender in 1945, according to the division of the Allied headquarters, China assumed the task of landing in Vietnam north of 16 degrees north latitude. In this building, the famous anti-Japanese patriotic general Lu Han participated as a Chinese representative. The ceremony accepted the surrender of six people, including Japanese representatives and 38th Army Commander Tuqiao Yongyi, and became the only overseas landing place in China. The presidential palace then served as the office of successive Vietnamese presidents, including Ho Chi Minh (that is, Vietnam's current...word limit is exceeded, and continues in the last picture...

20230617 morning: 1. The "Vietnam Town Guo Temple" is the first temple in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. It was built in the Li Dynasty and the Li Nandi period (China is in the split period of the North and South Dynasties) before 541-548 years ago. It is a place where senior monks, royal families and celebrities have been taught in Vietnam. The temple is surrounded by ancient towers. The adjacent West Lake lotus pond is intersected and has become the face value of the ancient architecture of Vietnam. The temple was originally called "Kaiguo Temple", also known as "Zhenbei Temple", until the post-Li Dynasty period in 1440 (Ming Orthodox five years) changed to "Anguo Temple", 1616 (Ming Wanli forty-four years) after Emperor Li moved the temple to the current "Goldfish Island" and changed the name. The temple is small in size, but the incense is strong, and the entrance to the park is free. ① Address: West Lake on the north side of Hanoi City, Vietnam. ② Transportation: It is easy to stop by car. ③ peak season: no. ④ Time: 1 hour. 2. Arrive at the main entrance of the temple in the lake through the stone bridge. The red and yellow temple gates are solemn and rich. The plaques and couplets are Chinese characters. Because the north and central Vietnam were Chinese territory during the five generations and ten kingdoms (907-979 years), it was deeply affected by Chinese culture. You can also see many Taoist views on the way. Although Vietnamese taboo these history, but do not do hands and feet in religious monuments, temples and Taoist temples stand there day and night to show the original appearance of history. 3, the first courtyard is full of Buddha towers, the main hall "Fengzutang", the rockery in the courtyard, the kumquat set is small and exquisite, highlighting the style of Southeast Asian Buddhism. There is also: ① Hexagonal Lotus Pagoda: The iconic main tower, red, built in 1998, a total of 11 floors and 66 Buddhas on 6 sides, each of which has a white Buddha statue. ② Stele Pavilion: The stele Pavilion with red tiles and yellow bodies is very beautiful. The inscription is Chinese, which records the past presidencies in the temple. 4. The second courtyard has: ① Buddha Hall: Take off your shoes in the temple of the Buddha in Southeast Asia to avoid bringing the earthly dirt on the soles of your feet into the Buddha Hall, and it is also said that this means purifying your body and mind. ② Bodhi Tree: The treasure of the town temple, presented by Indian President Rajindra Prasad in 1959, is said to have become Buddha 2,500 years ago under the mother tree of this Bodhi tree, the tree is now the tree's descendants, or transplanted its branches to grow into trees. 5. At the end of the tour, it will take half an hour. There are many stalls outside the temple gate selling fish and birds for release. The tour guide recommends not to buy them. After we release the stall owner will catch them again. Origami crafts and unique sweet and sour fruit soup are quite special. 6. The tour of Hanoi ended. I returned to Halong City from Hanoi. I also experienced the local tricycle on the road. I shuttled on the road in Ishii, Vietnam. There were no traffic lights. Pedestrians, motorcycles, cars, etc. around, quite exciting. Attachment: Vietnam Tourism Tips ① Currency: On the exchange rate, RMB/Vietnam dong = 3000/1 (just about the value, there will be changes every day) ② Shopping: Regular shopping malls can directly swipe the domestic UnionPay card, and the exchange rate will be directly calculated to deduct the corresponding RMB amount, but small shops may not be able to swipe the UnionPay card. WeChat and Alipay can basically brush in slightly larger stores. ③ Price... The number of words exceeds the limit, continue in the last picture.

The presidential palace, which was then the office of successive Vietnamese presidents, including Ho Chi Minh (that is, Vietnam’s current president, the more friendly Wu Wen appreciation to China, may be in this building at this time, only 100 meters away from me), and has also received visits from many leaders. The presidential palace is currently not open to tourists, and can only watch and take pictures. In order to remember the history of French colonialism, Ho Chi Minh was unmarried and had no children for life, so he only worked in the presidential palace and did not live. He lived in the electrician dormitory shed next to the villa for a simple life. There was no toilet in the shed. ② Office complex: almost all bright yellow French buildings, the interior is currently used as exhibitions, there are graphic exhibition rooms, home furnishings, and classic car showrooms (3 Ho Chi Minh's original car: one is a Soviet Gis brand, is the top bulletproof car of Stalin's era, The car is a red flag car; the other two are the Jim brand and the French logo, the latter is the loot of the victory of the anti-French war), and there is a two-story building surrounded by no walls, which is the office place of Ho Chi Minh in the summer, and it is cooler and breathable. ③ Mango Road: A boulevard, named after the mango trees planted on both sides, is full of ripe mangoes that fell. Ho Chi Minh used to walk and exercise on this road. At present, there are Ho Chi Minh's life introductions on both sides of the road. Peacocks are also raised in the bird cage on the lawn.

Long Bien iron bridge in Hanoi Hong River The 1,6827-long 'Tong Bien' iron bridge across the north and south of the Hong River, the Han River in Vietnam, was Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the Phil Tower during the French colonial period. It was designed by the French rule in 1899 and completed in 1002. During the Vietnam War, it was destroyed and restored by more than 10 variables due to numerous air raids as a connecting port of Haiphong and Hanoi. It is said that entry and exit are prohibited and only trains, motorcycles and people can use it. Newly built modern bridges along the Hong River divide the weight of the suit, but the weight of 118 years is Long Bien It is a Vietnamese history museum that lives only with iron bridges. Currently, there is a cafe where you can enjoy the view of Long Bien iron bridge in Long Bien Station, and I recommend a lot of view restaurants. 👍
