Tips for Renting a Car

The first thing that you have to be aware of is the quality of the car that you rent. Rental cars were used many times by many unprofessional drivers with the thought that “That is not my properties so I don’t have to take care of it carefully”. Therefore, checking the car conditions before renting it is essential for you to avoid accidents or unexpected dramas. Also, spending time to come to showroom of the agencies to find your best match is highly recommended.

One more thing you have to be aware of is the traffic in Vietnam. The fact is that the traffic system in Vietnam is very complicated which can intimidates even the most skillful and careful drivers. Therefore, driving a car in Vietnam can be extremely challenging.

To make the matter worse, the buzz of motorbikes, and other cars, with an intense level of honking can make the experience more stressful than it should. If you don’t feel confident in your driving skills, hiring a chauffeur from the agencies is a wise option since many agencies offer drivers with their rental cars. Additionally, the local drivers are familiar and experienced with the locations, so you will reach your desired destinations faster and safer.

Hanoi Cathedral – One Of Hanoi Famous Architecture

With Gothic style, the time-honored church of the Roman Catholic Church is located in the heart of Hanoi.

Overview of the Hanoi Cathedral

With the official name of the church St. Joseph’s Cathedral, Hanoi Cathedral, also called the cathedral of the General The Diocese of Hanoi, is one of the earliest Catholic buildings in Vietnam and one of the most beautiful churches in the capital.

From Bao Thien Pagoda to Hanoi Cathedral

If you search Vietnam Tourist Information, you could find that the site of Hanoi Church built today is the foundation of Bao Thien Pagoda (the full name is the Sung Khanh Bao Thien Thien Pagoda) – the famous temple is considered as the National Pagoda. Bao Thien Pagoda was built from the Ly dynasty, under the reign of King Ly Thanh Tong, in 1057.

The pagoda was great, ancient and magnificent. During the Ly dynasty for nearly 400 years, Bao Thien Pagoda is a famous spiritual place, the center of Buddhism in the capital of Dai Viet.

In the 15th century, Thien Bao pagoda was destroyed by the Ming army, many valuable treasures were lost and damaged. Restored under the Le Dynasty, but at the end of the 18th century the pagoda had a large fire, so the monks moved to other places. The temple became deserted.

In 1873, after the French invaded Hanoi, Bao Thien pagoda was entrusted to Bishop Puginier by the French. The bishop set up a few wooden houses to stay and work on the old foundation of the pagoda. In 1882, the French occupied Hanoi for the second time.

In 1883, at the request of the northern governor Raoul Bonnal, the North Vietnamese governor, Nguyen Huu Do, assigned construction of Hanoi Cathedral on the foundation of the temple to Bishop Puginier.

The church was built of brick replacing the old wooden architecture, from 1884 to 1886, in the context of Hanoi transformed into a new Western-style urban. Funds for the construction of churches were mobilized from the two lotteries and other sources.

It was inaugurated on Christmas Day in 1887. When newly completed, this place was still deserted. It was not until 1890 that Nha Tho street was built from the church directly to Guom Lake, the church had a prime location in the urban space.

Hanoi Cathedral – one of Hanoi famous architecture

St. Joseph’s Cathedral was designed in the style of European Gothic, influenced by the Notre Dame Cathedral (France).

The church has the length of 64.5m, the width of 20.5m and two 31.5-meter-towers, the facade layout is divided into three symmetric parts. The two towers are high up, in the middle is the lower block ended by the triangular wall with the cross.

Most of the doors and windows on the façade were built with the typical Gothic arch. The middle block has a circular flower window, above the cross also has a circular clock.

The windows are from colored glass, with the holy paintings, bringing natural light into the interior with magical colors.The church also has a Western bell, consisting of four small bells and a large bell, worth 20,000 francs at the time.

In front of the church, there is a small square with the statue of Mary, which adds to the landscape value for the building.

In general, the works are of European Gothic style, but still have a combination with the indigenous architecture shown in the system of terracotta roof tiles, the interior traditional Vietnamese decoration. So it is the special product of cultural exchange East-West.

This is the most attractive destination to many local people as well as visitors of Hanoi City Tour. Nowadays, this is not only the center of Hanoi’s Catholic activity but also an indispensable destination in the journey of each tourist when visiting the thousand year capital.

Long Bien Bridge – A Pearl Covered In Dust In Hanoi

Built in the early 20th century, the Long Bien bridge has become a symbol of change in Hanoi.

Historical ups and downs

Long Bien Bridge with over 100 years of life is one of the symbols of history and technology of the early twentieth century. It was the first steel bridge across the Red River, built by the French from 1898 to 1902, on the arterial road linking Hanoi with the northern provinces.

The bridge was built when the country was under the rule of France, to meet the purpose of military, transportation, contribution for the formation of the economic triangle of Hanoi – Hai Phong – Quang Ninh, solving the travel demand. Especially, the flood season of the Red River, which is notorious for its ferocity, posed a very urgent problem for the French at the beginning of the yoke of domination.

The person who had made great contributions to the construction of the bridge this century is the Governor General of Indochina, Paul Doumer, when he took office he saw the need to have a bridge across the Red River. Although there are a number of unconvincing views on the construction of bridges of large French and indigenous officials and traders, he was determined to carry out his intentions and boldly mentioned in the Report on the first colonial exploitation program to the Minister of the French Colonies.

Long Bien Bridge was inaugurated also marked the period of Hanoi transformed from a traditional urban to the modern urban trend of the world. Thanks to the Long Bien bridge, the Hanoi after the period of the French colony had a fairly complete space structure with four basic components: the Imperial Citadel; The ancient street of the Vietnamese; French Quarter for offices and bridges opening for commodity economy.

The total length of the Long Bien bridge is about 1,862m, consisting of 19 spans, 20 pillars, a railroad in the middle, and two sides with a width of 1.3m for pedestrians. From 1902 to 1922, Long Bien Bridge mainly served the needs of railways and pedestrians. Later, due to increased traffic demand, the two sides of the road was widened for motorized vehicles.

In July 1945, Dr. Tran Van Lai, a Hanoi manager, was renamed Long Bien Bridge and this name was called to this day. Since the construction of this bridge has suffered a lot of severe consequences of natural disasters, the enemy. But as strange as it may seem, the bridge stood still for more than a century. At the most important traffic position, but it did not collapse through historic floods, breaking up of the Red River dike…. and the bombardments of the US Air Force.

Long Bien Bridge is a historical evidence witness the changes, ups and downs of the capital and also the bridge saving the memory, a soul of Hanoi, the Hanoians.

A pearl covered in dust in Hanoi

Tour in Vietnam is attractive for its contemplation and golden history. And, the Long Bien Bridge is one of these evidence of this brilliant period.

The bridge has seen so many events of the whole nation. Two prominent events in the 20th century of the Vietnamese people were the resistance war against France in 1954 for the independence for the Vietnamese people and the war fierce anti-American, although bear a lot of bombs but Long Bien bridge still stands today.

Long Bien Bridge is a pearl covered in the dust of time. On the cold winter days, the Long Bien Bridge is silent sad under the gray rain. However, in the sunset, this ancient bridge reflects the golden of the sunlight, as replaying the film of a brilliant gold Hanoi.

Looking from a distance, the Long Bien Bridge looks like an old man who is telling the story of the elegant and lovely Hanoians, about the splendor of two wars of resistance.

After the ups and downs of the time, Long Bien Bridge “taste” enough smell of bombs, but it still silently stands there and covers the capital Hanoi as a rope connecting the past with the present.

Hoa Lo Prison – The Most Frightening Place In Southeast Asia

According to CNN’s recently released poll, Hoa Lo Prison in Vietnam ranks first in the top five most frightening places in Southeast Asia. Therefore, it becomes the best destination in Vietnam for people who take Hanoi one Day Tour and would like to understand the history in Hanoi.

Overview to Hoa Lo

Hoa Lo Prison is located on Hoa Lo Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi (which is located on the land of Phu Khanh village in Vinh Xuong Commune, Tho Xuong District) was built by French Colonialists in 1896, just four years after “hell on earth” was started construction in Con Dao. Hoa Lo has a total area of more than 12,000 m2, is one of the largest and strongest prisons in Indochina at that time.

Hoa Lo Prison is located in the heart of Hanoi, built in 1896. The French colonialists built the prison to detain those who struggled against French colonial rule.

Hoa Lo Prison (Maison Centrale), but built on the land of Phu Khanh village, Vinh Xuong (in the past), this is a village specializing in producing ceramics, the fire is bright every night, so the village is called Hoa Lo (fire furnace) and the prison here is also called Hoa Lo prison.

While other prisons are isolated from residential areas, Hoa Lo is located in the center of Hanoi, the capital of the colonial government at the time.

Architecture of Hoa Lo Prison

Hoa Lo Prison was built at the most important position by the French colonialists in the attempt to suppress dissidents of colonial rule. Thus, they built this largest and most solid prison in Indochina. According to the design approved in 1896, Hoa Lo Prison consists of the following works:

  1. A house for the guard (Administrative house)
  2. A house used as a clinic
  3. A house used as a hospital
  4. Two houses used to detain the accused (not yet convicted)
  5. A house used for carpentry workshops, iron workshop, sewing workshop, leather workshop
  6. Five regions for prisoners were sentenced to prison
  7. Four camps for prisoners of death row, dangerous prisoners, prisoners who violate prison rules.

Surrounding the prison is a solid wall of stone, 4m high, 0.5m thick, on top of the walls are pieces of glass and high voltage wire to prevent prisoners from escaping. At the foot of the inner wall is a 3m wide sidewalk for guards patrolling around the prison area. Four corners have four guard towers capable of observing the whole of the patrol and around the outside of the prison.

Particularly, the iron door system and locks were brought from France.

The main gate is attached to a two-storeys building with arched structure. The prison has two iron gates. From one camp to another must follow a path with many iron doors, so prisoners can hardly escape

Stepping through the main gates of the prison are narrow, dark corridors, leading to the detention center. The detention area was separated by a large, solid, nearly 4m high door, with solid locking system, where the prisoners were chained to two long strings on the concrete platforms. The light of this area only from the small window frames creates a dark scene.

The Hell in the earth

Here, visitors can witness the horror and brutality of a notorious prison in that time and at the same time can see the indomitable spirit of the communists.

Take a look at the small cell size of 1.8 m by 1.8 m with wood panels and mats for the prisoners. The windows are always closed and in prison, there were always many prisoners. In 1916, the prison capacity was only 600 people but many days there were 730 prisoners. By 1933, the number of prisoners detained there increased to 1,430 and in 1954 more than 2,000.

In the prison, visitors of Sapa Vietnam Tours will see frightening iron cages with many artifacts and photographs of Vietnamese prisoners with the wooden shackles making them cannot stand up or move. Prisoners are often starved, tortured, beaten and isolated. you can read a prison guard’s, quote that “death is easy but life is hard”.

Many generations of Vietnamese have been detained in Hoa Lo Prison, such as patriotic scholars such as Phan Boi Chau, Luong Van Can …, Nguyen Van Cu, Truong Chinh, Le Duan, Nguyen Van Linh, Do Muoi – the elite of Vietnam, later became senior cadres of the Communist Party of Vietnam and many other revolutionary soldiers. In spite of being beaten by the enemy, being imprisoned in the dungeon, even sacrificing their life, soldiers still held the will to fight the colonists, making the Hoa Lo prison become a revolutionary school, the training environment to increase thoughts, wills. In Hoa Lo Prison, political training classes were opened, the Red Prison Newspaper, Prison magazines, and so on were published.

Water Puppetry – Vietnamese Soul In Each Play

Water puppetry ( Mua roi nuoc ) is one of the typical types of the theatrical scene for the Vietnamese national culture – Showing the intellect and intelligence and creativity of the Vietnamese people.

The history of Vietnamese water puppetry art
Water puppetry originates in the Red delta river area of northern religion Vietnam with the wet rice civilization in the 11 century. The most strong development was in the reign of Emperors of Ly –T ran dynasty (The century 11,12). The Vietnamese folk puppetry is associated with the village belief systems to worship Tutelary gods or to help everyone entertain in the folkloric festivals. Therefore, this art form usually takes place on specific occasion, village festivals and the lunar new year.

The unique features
Puppets are made of wood and then lacquered to be watertight and endurable. Each puppet has their own appearance and name depend on the gender and personality of each character in real life.

A water puppet is showed in a pond or a pool of water with the water surface as the stage of the puppets. The stage of the water puppet called Thuy Dinh or water pavilion is normally placed in the middle of the pond.

The puppeteers stand waist-deep behind a bamboo screen and take control of the puppets through a pole-and-string apparatus system hiding under the water surface. The actions of puppets do not only depend on pole-and-string apparatus but also on the force of water as well as the system of rudders and floats in a “controlling machine” of the puppets. Therefore, what you can see is only the presence of puppets on the water surface without puppeteers or controlling poles.

In water puppetry art, music is an indispensable factor as a bridge between the show and the audiences. While puppets play their role, the singers of Cheo (a form of generally satirical traditional musical theatre of Vietnam) sing songs to tell us the story through the lyrics. Music, song, words in combination with the movements of puppets attract the audiences. It leads them to understand more about the content and evolution of the story.

The contents of the water puppetry show are about everyday life activities of Vietnamese people, healthy and useful entertainments, plays a setting example of national heroes and traditional opera plays. All of this reflects the life and aspirations of wet rice residents in Red Delta River as well as represent the Vietnamese cultural and spiritual values.

Where can tourists watch a real water puppet performance?
Water puppets are presented in most of the provinces in the delta and midland of the Red River. It can be performed in some villages such as Dao Thuc village in Hanoi, Yen Duc village in Quang Ninh province particularly, Central Puppet Theater and Thang Long Puppet Theater in Hanoi. Some people said that “Not watching a performance of water puppetry means no visiting Vietnam yet”. So, let’s Vietnam package Tours help you to have a nice experience with water puppetry show.
