Discover the war history of Vietnam while driving around Hanoi on a former military Jeep!
War has played an important role in shaping the current state of Vietnam as a nation. In order to understand the country better, we should look back at the past and learn about its war history. Today, we will visit 2 museums and 1 historical site that tell the story of Vietnam. We will drive around the city on a Jeep and immerse ourselves in the history. Our first destination is the Hoa Lo Museum which was ironically dubbed as the “Hanoi Hilton” by American pilots during the Vietnam War. Before being converted into a museum, Hoa Lo was a prison under the French colonial era and the Vietnam War. While we are here, we can notice the remnants of its past through exhibits such as the guillotine room and interrogation room.
Next, we will head towards the Vietnam Military History Museum where we will discover the history of Vietnam during the thousands of years war with China, Indochina Wars and Vietnam War through various artefacts and documents here. We will then drive to the Huu Tiep Lake in Ngoc Ha Village where we could view the wreckage of a B-52 bomber plane. It was shot down in 1972 during the Vietnam War. After we learn about the history, we will drive around the busy streets of Hanoi on our Jeep. As we pass by the iconic Vietnamese roads full of motorcycles, we will pass through small parks adorned with lush trees and yellow colonial-style villas which now house a university, foreign embassies and various government buildings. Once we gain new knowledge about Vietnam, we will conclude the tour and drop you off at the place of your choice.
