What To Expect

Vietnam Military History Museum

Our first and foremost visiting destination is Vietnam Military History Museum. Established in 1956, this is the very first Vietnamese gallery regarding armed
forces, particularly about the Communist Party and People's Army of
Vietnam. There are hundreds of artifacts like tanks, weapons as well as
aircraft wreckage.
The gallery not only enlightens Vietnamese people about their own patriotic
tradition but also supplies tourists with an insight into the hardships of
Vietnam via a lengthy history of the battles against the French, American and
Chinese army.

Hoa Lo Prison

Later, to continue our Hanoi War Sites Walking tour, we take a look to
discover Hoa Lo prison. Hoa Lo Prison which was formerly called "Hanoi Hilton" by the American
prisoners. Lots of Vietnamese revolutionaries such as political prisoners as

well as patriots against the French colonial Federal government were
captured right here. Throughout the Vietnam War period, American
detainees were kept in this jail.
French colonialists constructed this main prison of both Central and Tonkin in
suburb in 1896. The French name of Hoa Lo prison back then was Maison
Centrale. Its Vietnamese name was Nguc That Hanoi (Hanoi dungeon).
Its original area was more than 12000 square meters nut now it remains only
more than 2000. In the 1980s, the contemporary authority demolished the
whole complex but they kept the gatehouse as a sort of museum dedicated
to resembling the wartime
Exhibits at Hoa Lo Jail concentrate on the French colonial age consisting of
the guillotine chamber. The original device with a hefty blade that slides
down a wood framework is kept in the jail.
This is, of course, a best-chosen destination in Hanoi War Sites Walking Tour.
At this museum, you can obtain a deeper understanding right into the
difficulties of the Vietnamese throughout the battle period and the secrets
behind the victory over French and American.

Steve is an incredible friendly, knowledgeable and passionate guide. He explained us Vietnam‘s history in an understandable way and took all his time to answer our questions. We can only strongly recommend him. Steve is the best combination of a very modern guide with the knowledge of a history book.
