The next place is One Pillar Pagoda which is a group of structures consisting of a pagoda and a tower built in the middle of a square pond.  

   Temple of Literature.

Tourists, particularly the foreign ones, now flock to the site for taking a look into its profound traditional meanings of both a Confucion temple and the first university of Vietnam. Văn Miếu or Temple of Literature, known as "pagode des Corbeaux" during the period of French colonisation, was founded as a Confucian temple in 1070. Only parts of the Văn Miếu complex date back to the earliest period, although much of the architecture dates to the Ly (1010 - 1225) and Tran (1225 - 1400) Dynasties. In 1076, Vietnam s first university, the Quốc Tử Giám (or National University), was established within this temple to educate Vietnam s mandarin class. The university functioned for more than 700 years, from 1076 to 1779, during which, 2,313 doctors graduated. Hence, the complex has been attached to the name of Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam up to now.

   After lunch, drive to visit Tran Quoc Pagoda. Tran Quoc Pagoda in Hanoi is the oldest pagoda constructed in the sixth century during the reign of Emperor Ly Nam De. Tran Quoc Pagoda in Hanoi was supposedly founded 1,400 years ago by King Ly Nam De with the name Khai Quoc (National Founder). At first it was built outside the Yen Phu Dyke and the move to West Lake. Tran Quoc Pagoda in Hanoi was then named Khai Quoc, meaning "founding the country." It has been named An Quoc, Tran Quoc and Tran Bac. With architecture harmonious with nature, the pagoda complements the beautiful scenery around the lake. One of the present statues inside Tran Quoc Pagoda in Hanoi was fashioned in 1639.

   Museum of Ethnology. This is the most recent yet probably the largest and undoubtedly the most interesting Museums in Hanoi and Vietnam. The Museum comes out of the recognition that Vietnam is a multi-ethnic country and that more attention should be paid to promote socio-cultural diversity. Despite being out of the way compared with other museums in Hanoi, Vietnam Museum of Ethnology is worth a thorough visit, for those who are keen to learn about the multiculturality of Vietnam and for those who would appreciate some green space.

   Hoa Lo Prison, where many Vietnamese patriots were jailed and killed with full of evidents of the French brutal to the Vietnameses people .

   The last place of city tour is Hoan Kiem Lake (Restored Sword Lake), Ngoc Son Temple.
