Check out the Temple of Literature, an ancient temple built in 1070 and dedicated to Confucius. Take a walk around Ho\u00e0n Ki\u1ebfm Lake at sunset or opt for a sunrise wander to spot locals practising tai chi. Don\u2019t miss out on visiting Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the resting place of Vietnamese revolutionary leader and president Ho Chi Minh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A trip to Hanoi isn\u2019t complete without witnessing a water puppet show at Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre. Water puppetry is a tradition that dates back to the 11th century, when it was performed throughout villages across northern Vietnam. Expect singing, wooden puppets, music and a strong nod towards Vietnamese folklore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to eat: Market food with the locals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The love language of Hanoi is food. Locals sit on plastic milk crates, slurping noodles and an ice-cold Saigon beer. Markets are brimming with authentic street food, and guests are encouraged to mix with the locals, pull up a chair and get stuck in. Some of Vietnam\u2019s most famous dishes originated in Hanoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/search?destinationName=Hanoi&amp;destinationId=le_0663a4ddceacb40b095eda264a85f15c&amp;adults=2&amp;children=none&amp;flexibleWithDate=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_1657620166-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Two people digging into the popular fragrant dish of Hanoi - Pho - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-3906\" style=\"width:800px;height:undefinedpx\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Pho<\/em>, Vietnam.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take <em>pho<\/em>, for example.
