Description
Start your day with a sit-back on the scooter. Going through Vietnamese history, from Vietnam French War to North Vietnam War to Communist Victory. Hanoi's most fun attraction is Hanoi Train Street.
Immerse yourself in Vietnamese history with a visit to the Hanoi Hilton and the Vietnam Air Force Museum. These two sites provide a comprehensive look into the North Vietnam War and the pivotal role of the Communist Party of Vietnam. At the Hanoi Hilton, you’ll explore the history of Vietnamese resistance and learn why Vietnam is communist today. Meanwhile, the Air Force Museum displays an impressive array of military artifacts, including anti-aircraft guns, such as those once controversially associated with "Hanoi Jane" during her anti-war stance in Vietnam.
After, we’ll stroll through the Old Quarter—a living symbol of Vietnamese heritage where traditional houses, markets, and temples reflect both the modern and ancient sides of Vietnamese history.
At the Vietnam Air Force museum, over 70 noteable artifacts bring to life key dates of the Vietnam War, including the Tet Offensive of 1968 and the Fall of Saigon in 1975. Exhibits outline the war in Vietnam timeline and the enormous human toll, with approximately 1.1 million North Vietnamese soldiers lost.
This journey answers questions like "Is Vietnam communist?" and delves into the lasting influence of the Communist Party of Vietnam. To end the tour, we’ll transport you to Hanoi Train Street, where you can sip egg coffee Vietnam or a cool beer while witnessing the train pass just feet away, offering an iconic view into Hanoi’s urban culture.
