Vietnam’s capital city has a rich culture and borrows heavily from Chinese and French influences. The Old Quarter is particularly enchanting although extremely chaotic with narrow streets. There are temples and markets, thronging with people while there are other notable sights as well such as the One Pillar Pagoda, a small temple on top of a stone pillar and an 11th century temple of literature which used to house a Confucian academy. There are also relics from the war such as the museum at Hoa Lo Prison.
