As the capital of Vietnam for almost a thousand years, Hanoi hosts more historical sites than any other city in Vietnam. After breakfast, we will start the city tour with the Ho Chi Minh Complex. The Presidential Palace is a beautiful and grand French villa amidst a lovely garden; however, Ho Chi Minh lived in three stark rooms on stilts not far from the palace. Visiting his house, you get to know how simple and austere his life was. Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum is also in this complex, which is closed on Mondays, Fridays and  annual maintenance during Jun to Aug, and throughout October for maintenance. Later, you will visit the famous One Pillar Pagoda, a historical Buddhist temple. It acquired its name as it was built from a single stone pillar.
