2. Huanjian Lake and Yushan Temple:  The picturesque lake is isolated at the center of Hanoi with parks and pedestrian walkways surrounding the lake. On an island in the lake, is the Ngoc Son Temple with a red bridge to the lack, and is a quiet haven to relax away from the city.

3. Ho Chi Minh Memorial Hall:  Salute the Mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh, founder of modern Vietnam.  The Hall is also a complex with the Ho Chi Minh residence, the presidential palace, and the One Pillar Pagoda a famous Buddhist temple.
