On a day I spent walking in Hanoi, I visited the Temple of Literature. This was built in 1076 as a school for training Confusion scholars. It is a large quiet area with several courtyards, separated by gates like the one in the picture. Classic architecture from the time. It was great to spend a couple of hours there, away from the traffic.
Walking around Hanoi was a bit of an adventure in itself, just finding my way around. I had a map, but I actually used a compass as well!
I also visited the Ho Chi Min museum, which has exhibits of writings and artifacts from his life and displays about the history of Vietnam corresponding to his time.
