Hanoi is brimming with attractions✨✨ The view of the boat⛵️ at sunset🌆 is also full of charm✨ Thang Long Imperial Citadel → This is the site of the royal palace of the Vietnamese dynasty, which had its capital in Hanoi for about 800 years from 1010 to 1804. The ruins were unearthed during a large-scale excavation in the 21st century, and part of the site was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in 2010✨. Excavations are still ongoing, and restoration work is being carried out in parallel to repair the ruins damaged by repeated conflicts⚔️. Some parts of the ruins, such as gates, walls, and pavilions, are open for paid tours🉑! Tran Quoc Pagoda → Located on Golden Fish Island in Hanoi's West Lake, this is the oldest Buddhist temple and pagoda in the area. The entire site, including the garden and main hall, spans over 3,000 square meters, and the pagoda itself is an impressive 11 stories tall, standing at a height of 15 meters✨
