• Hoa Lo Prison - First stop: Let’s Go to Jail, where the revolution was born. Constructed by the French in the 1890s to detain Vietnamese revolutionaries, this site was intended to suppress the spirit of independence. However, it transformed into a school of resistance.
• Chua Tran Quoc - Tran Quoc, the oldest Buddhist pagoda in Hanoi, is nearly 1500 years old. During the war, as bombs fell around Hanoi, this pagoda remained steadfast. It was a sanctuary where people came to pray, light incense, and quietly hope to survive another night.
• John Sidney McCain Memorial - John McCain Memorial: when adversaries became peacemakers. In 1967, US Navy pilot John McCain was shot down. His plane crashed into Truc Bach Lake, and he parachuted right into the water behind you.
• B52 Victory Museum - What better way to visit a museum than with a veteran who served in Hanoi’s air defense during the 1972 bombings?
• Huu Tiep Lake and the Downed B-52 - A B52 bomber, once feared in the skies, now rests quietly in a pond. A genuine wreckage, shot down during the Christmas bombings of 1972. You will meet one of the few survivors who lived this story—not through books, but through their own experiences.
• Hang Gai Street (Street of Hemp) - Conclude the journey not in fear, but with flavor, by enjoying Hanoi’s most famous drink: egg coffee. Watch and learn how it was invented and made through hardship. As you sip, reflect on this: a city that survived fire and fear, now offering warmth and welcome. That’s Hanoi. That’s Vietnam.

This is not your ordinary city tour—it’s a journey through the memories of Hanoi.

The walk begins quietly, within walls that once housed revolutionaries and later, captured airmen. From there, you’ll observe subtle transitions in time and atmosphere: a lakeside temple older than the city itself, a simple stone relief by the water’s edge. Later, near the remains of a downed aircraft, stories unfold—not from books, but from those who experienced them. Nothing is staged, yet everything is meaningful.

While deeply rooted in history, this experience is not just for history enthusiasts. It’s for anyone intrigued by Hanoi’s complex soul—those who wish to delve deeper, to sense the resilience and subtlety beyond the noise. This is not a lecture. It’s an encounter with the city, through its people, its places, and its memories.

The journey concludes not with an ending, but with a cup of Hanoi’s iconic egg coffee, served in a tranquil corner where past and present gently converge.

Authentic stories. Genuine people. True Hanoi. True Vietnam.
