Mồng 1 trời nắng đẹp.

I wouldn't make a special trip to visit this, but as it's right next to the museum you may as well.It's important to note for historical purposes that this is actually a reproduction of the original, as the French destroyed the original. It's therefore not as old as you may think.As a visitor in a wheelchair I found that ground access was surprisingly good, and flat, if a little rickety with the cobbles. There are steps up to the pagoda, (as usual), but as it's so small, probably not worth the effort to go up.It's a really busy site here, with hundreds of Vietnamese queuing to go up the steps.

It was a nice place to take pictures. But only for 5 minutes or so, because there is nothing else besides the pagoda and the boats on the lake. We sat outside this prayer room but was asked to leave as there was a ceremony or something inside. Like a mass. The way we were asked to leave was not very nice and friendly.

A small wooden structure on top of concrete stairs and a small pond. That's it. This place isn't that interesting, but the large number of people selling drinks, food, and touristy knick-knacks might try and convince you otherwise. It is right next to the HoChiMin Musuem.

One pillar pagoda (Chua Mot Cot) in Hanoi 1 of the most meaningful symbols for Buddhism. Built in the shape of a lotus flower, representing the purity, its unique architecture makes is reputation. I came here one day when I was taking a city tour with Minmax travel in Hanoi. I found it very interesting with lots of old ladies praying.
