If you do not have to Viet Nam's history is very much aware, Museum seems to be no need to go.Kiem in the East of the city, North-South for about 700 metres, the thing is about 200 meters.
History of Kiem. Legend of the famous generals Le profit in digging into a carved "shuntian" sword, he used the sword to defeat the enemy, when the Emperor, after Le dynasty, known as Le Emperor. Later Le Emperor boat tour on the Lake, and suddenly see a large turtle floating on the surface, because the arrow does not, he just cut with a sword, sword fell, turtles the title a sword slowly sinking. People say this tortoise as taohuan, sword and gain the name jianhu also. Kiem Southwest have a Turtle Island, the island has a built in 1877 the tortoise Tower. The Lake is a turtle, is said to the rain, turtle sometimes slowly climbed the island in the Sun. North-East of the Lake has a slightly larger island, called Yushan Islands. 15 century, Yushan Islands is the Emperor of Diaoyutai Lai. The 18th century the island built the temple, later expanding to Ngoc. Temple dedicated to the gateway in addition to TI, enshrine Wen Jun and immortals. Ngoc was also exhibiting a turtle specimens. According to reports, this turtle is 1968 from Kiem in salvage, then weighing 250 kilograms, a length 2.1 m, width 1.2 m. According to newspaper reports, Viet Nam, this turtle is injured after being ashore. At that time some people advocate sending restaurant part stands for slaughter, hospital treatment, the controversies. Later the leader intervention, it is not sent for slaughter, but because of the delay time, died before rescue, has now made of specimens. It is estimated that this turtle is about 400 to 500 years old. Ngoc through Habitat Asahi bridge connected to the shore. CMS-bridge originally built in 1865, 1952, breaking down after the bridge, as is rebuilt. Left side of the hill there is a pen Tower, CMS Asahi bridgehead arches above party inkstone, inkstone consists of three only stone frog hold up. (The above text Internet Download. )To Hanoi must go to the water puppets Theatre (Water Puppets, the performance of puppets).
Theatre located in Tien Hoang Street, 57, is also the sword on the Lake. Performance is a waist-deep in small ponds, reservoirs and the surrounding scenery and light structuresLight, with a few pieces of bamboo curtain separated into foreground and background, the puppet on the water make various dazzling action, all the puppet is a bamboo curtain behind stood in the water through a stick to manipulation, with traditional folk music and Opera in Viet Nam on white, very impressive. Tickets are USD1.3, if you want to photograph the extra $ 1.Under the influence of Chinese culture, temples, Taoist temples and ancestral in many Chinese character writing's couplet, unfortunately modern Viet Nam has not read the text.
Modern Viet Nam text is France colonists established for them, the use of similar phonetic text French letters and six tones phonetic symbols. Some Word's pronunciation is very close and Cantonese, meaning the same.Hanoi high-rise buildings throughout the city, are dispersed over a dozen, from modern to see is not any of the Chinese capital city, or even behind the coastal towns.
But also feel the city was engaged in building strong, in contrast, the slow pace of life, more comfortable and at ease.Shopping
Kiem around 36 old streets, various goods are classified in different neighborhoods for sale.
For example, a "Silver's Street" and "wood business street," "oil business street," and "shoes ' street" and "paper Street" and "Mo ' street", and so on. But now sell and street name is a bit of a misnomer, as in "peach blossom Street" mainly sell Viet Nam silk products, cotton products, handicrafts. If you have time, you can these streets slowly pocket, and the shopkeeper of bargaining, buy some rich in handicrafts.Typical Viet Nam silk, textile technology, feeling relatively hard, rough, not knit comparison like China Suzhou and Hangzhou silk soft and delicate in the vicinity.
But it is said that this is another style. In silver shop has many beautiful etched patterns, emboss patterns of jewelry box, approximately 70% of silver alloy, some shop owners see people asking price, there is a shop is selling by weight of silver, on a small scale, and then calculate the price, I feel very, very interesting. Viet Nam's wood also very style, wooden chopsticks, chopsticks box mosaic shells, decorative, elegant, generally a set (4 of 4 double chopsticks and chopstick holder, a chopsticks box) asking price USD20. Some wooden Bowl painted very bright black, painted some pattern, not a meticulous and birds, but the original simple patterns, very chic. These streets, you can buy hand embroidery cotton tablecloths, quilt cover, followed by China, offer, the price is definitely not USD65 cheap.Building
When the colonial architecture of the large number of French-style makes the city exudes a unique charm.

This street there are many expensive hotel and brand-name shops, such as Hilton, Softel etc. Night walk, trance in the streets of Paris. The same colonial buildings, her style with Bund those magnificent ancient granite texture of the buildings, but not very romantic, very pure France ambience. Keep good French architecture, from France to learn to slow rhythms, French-language, the styling of the Cafe so nostalgic France here found more than 100 years ago in the French Empire's brilliant, I think that's why there are so many people come here in France.Viet Nam is also distinctive residences, each House General width 3-6 m, depth of 20-30 meters.
Usually 4 to 6 storeys, each layer has a beautiful French-style balcony faces the street. Balcony doors and Windows and often tall dark green shutters, painted, wall painted yellow, light pink, milk and other bright tone. Balcony on a lot of flowers and plants. Full of life. With the Chinese modern farmers built House, Viet Nam people seem to have better aesthetic and taste.Diet
