The history of any country has bloody and bitter periods, but they should not be forgotten in order to prevent repetition. The Vietnam Museum of Military History, located in Saigon, tells in detail about the period when the United States declared Vietnam the “territory of its interests”. The museum was opened immediately after the end of the American invasion of Vietnam, in 1975. Its exposition has thousands of exhibits documenting the true activities of American troops in the country.
The most complete idea of the history and culture, the national traditions of Vietnam can be obtained by visiting the State Museum of Fine Arts, located in Hanoi. Its halls represent a large number of unique exhibits representing cultural and historical value. From finds that have survived from the Neolithic, Paleolithic, Bronze eras to more modern rarities of the era of feudalism. Illustrations from modern culture and life of small nationalities of Vietnam are also presented there.
Vietnam is a mysterious country with an amazing history of many millennia. And each stage in development found versatile and complete lighting in the expositions presented in the Hanoi Museum of History, which is rightfully proud of its rich collection. In the halls of this museum, visitors can get acquainted with unique exhibits that have come down to this day from the Neolithic and Paleolithic, stunning relics of the emperors who remained after the reign of the Emperors, the illustrations of the glorious and tragic struggle of Vietnam for their independence.
The most beautiful place in the capital of Vietnam – Hanoi is rightfully recognized by Lake Hoan Kiy, which in translation sounds very poetic and gracefully sounds like “Lake Returned Sword”. Between its shores, having an almost correct shape, a mirror blue surface is spread. The water in the lake is so transparent that from the shore you can observe paintings from underwater life – for example, behind black turtles that have been living in these places since ancient times.
The opera theater in the capital of Vietnam Hanoi is the brightest attraction that demonstrates all the beauty of the colonial style in architecture, and at the same time recalls the time of enslavement of Vietnam by the French metropolitan. The theater was erected by colonists in 1901-11. and is an almost accurate copy of the Garnier Palace – the oldest opera theater in Paris, only smaller. The Hanoi opera is located on Chantien Street, which is all built up with buildings with colonial architecture.
