15:00 Our guide meets you at hotel and starts walking (the starting time can be adjusted) The duration of the walking tour is within 4 hours including the return walking time to/from the hotel. We first visit the outside of The Ngoc Son temple & Hoan Kiem lake, this is an enchanting body of water right in the heart of Hanoi. This small lake is nicely bordered by age - old trees. In the extreme north is an islet accessible by a wooden bridge painted red. On this islet is located the small temple of Ngoc Son which is dedicated to General Tran Hung Dao, a hero who defeated the Mongolians in the 13th century. In the middle of the lake is the tortoise tower considered as the contemporary symbol of Hanoi. Then visit a free shop in the Hanoi Old Quarters, covering an area of 100 ha, just north of the central Hoan Kiem Lake. The original 36 streets that make up the Old Quarter are named after the goods once sold there such as silk, paper, silver, cotton, fish and chicken... Hanoi's Old Quarter bears not just the cultural values of the capital, but the historical. Visit the Saint Joseph Cathedral, a Roman Catholic cathedral with neo- gothic style, which was built about 120 years ago. The architecture with domes of the cathedral follows the Gothic style and design of Paris Cathedral. It is 64.5m in length, 20.5m in width with two bell towers of 31.5m-height. Though the appearance of the cathedral, from the doors, the colorful window glass, to the religious paintings for decoration follows Western style, the main interior part is decorated in Vietnamese style with two typical colors yellow and red.
