RED RIVER

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to experience the new set menu "Lunar Alphabet" for this year's Mid-Autumn season at Red River Restaurant. Located on the 36th floor of Lotte Hotel, besides the polite, luxurious space, there is also an expensive view that encompasses the entire city of Hanoi. If the normal menu is quite expensive for young people, now the restaurant has opened a new menu that serves only on the weekends with a price of around 500K/person. Menu "Lunar Aesthetic" includes 2 sets of menus for you to choose: - Set 1 sẽ bao gồm các món: Tôm chiên giòn sốt cay ngọt, thịt gà chiên giòn sốt tỏi, thịt heo chiên giòn sốt chua ngọt, Mỳ hải sản bào ngư sốt đậu đen/Mỳ hải sản bào ngư cay, Trà nóng/Trà đá - Set 2 will include: Red Clam Salad, Shrimp Boiled, Fish Scallops with Mustard Sesame Sauce, Special Roast Pork Chops Steamed in Cigar Oil Sauce, Stir-fried Colored Tofu with Minced Meat in Spicy Sauce, White Rice and Soup, Hot Tea/Iced Tea At a reasonable price to make an authentic culinary experience accessible to more guests, Red River serves up extremely well-mannered dishes with high-quality ingredients such as scallops, red clams,.. I'm most impressed with the Crispy Fried Pork in Sweet and Sour Sauce and Spicy Fish Shell Seafood Noodles. Most of the spicy dishes here are humorously modified, people who can't eat spicy like me can still eat (besides you can increase the spiciness of your liking). This set menu will be served at the weekend and until the end of October only, so please come and experience it, I think with the quality of service, food quality, prime location and reasonable price, this is the experience shouldn't pass it up ;)

Quan Thanh Temple

Quan Thanh Temple: A Historical and Cultural Gem of Hanoi Overview Quan Thanh Temple (Đền Quán Thánh), also known as Tran Vu Temple, is one of Hanoi's oldest and most sacred Taoist temples. Established in the 11th century during the Ly Dynasty, it is part of the "Four Sacred Temples of Thang Long Citadel," guarding the northern entrance of the ancient capital. The temple is dedicated to Huyen Thien Tran Vu (Xuan Wu), the Taoist deity of the north, symbolized by a serpent and turtle. Located near West Lake at the intersection of Quan Thanh and Thanh Nien Streets, it remains a key spiritual and tourist site in Hanoi. Historical Significance - Founding: Built in 1010 under Emperor Ly Thai To to celebrate the relocation of Vietnam’s capital to Thang Long (modern Hanoi). - Sacred Role: One of four temples (alongside Bach Ma, Kim Lien, and Voi Phuc) positioned to protect the city from malevolent spirits and invaders. - Renovations: Restored multiple times, most notably in 1677 (when the iconic bronze statue was added) and 1893, blending Ly, Le, and Nguyen Dynasty architectural styles. Architecctural Highlights 1. Bronze Statue of Tran Vu: - Cast in 1677 by artisans from Ngũ Xã village, this 3.96-meter-tall, 3.6-ton black bronze statue depicts Tran Vu seated on a turtle, wielding a sword entwined by a serpent. It is Vietnam’s second-largest bronze statue and a masterpiece of 17th-century craftsmanship. - The deity’s symbols—the turtle (protection) and serpent (wealth)—reflect Taoist and Vietnamese folklore traditions. 2. Structural Features: - Three-Gate Entrance: Adorned with phoenixes and unicorns, typical of Nguyen Dynasty design. - Courtyard: Shaded by a centuries-old banyan tree, with a brick oven for burning joss paper during festivals. - Ancient Artifacts: Includes a 1.15-meter bronze bell, wood carvings of mythical creatures, and over 60 parallel poems in Chinese characters. Cultural and Spiritual Practices - Festivals: Locals visit during Tet (Lunar New Year) and on the 1st/15th lunar month days to pray for health, luck, and prosperity. - Syncretism: Though Taoist, the temple integrates Buddhist and Confucian elements, reflecting Vietnam’s religious blending. - Martial Arts: Hosts Vovinam classes, honoring Tran Vu’s association with martial prowess. Visitor Information - Location: 190 Quan Thanh Street, Ba Dinh District. - Hours: - Daily: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. - Extended hours on Tet Eve and lunar month days (6:00 AM – 8:00 PM). - Entry Fee: 10,000 VND (adults); 5,000 VND (students/children). - Dress Code: Modest attire covering shoulders and knees. Best Time to Visit: Early morning for tranquility, or during Tet (January–February) for vibrant rituals. Nearby Attractions 1. Tran Quoc Pagoda: Vietnam’s oldest pagoda, located on West Lake. 2. Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum: 1 km away, housing the embalmed leader. 3. Temple of Literature: Vietnam’s first university, dedicated to Confucius. Conclusion Quan Thanh Temple is a testament to Hanoi’s rich spiritual heritage and architectural ingenuity. Its iconic bronze statue, serene ambiance, and historical depth make it a must-visit for those exploring Vietnam’s cultural legacy. Whether admiring its artistry or participating in age-old rituals, the temple offers a profound glimpse into the soul of Hanoi. #travel #vietnam #hanoi #temple
