🕯️🏚️ Hoa Lo Prison – คุกเก่าเล่าประวัติศาสตร์ 🕯️

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck One of the most vividly representative sites of Vietnamese history is Hoa Lo Prison, also known as Maison Centrale, built by the French. It's now a museum, and history buffs shouldn't miss it! 📍 Location & Access • Located near the Hoan Kiem district, easily accessible from the Old Quarter, about 10 minutes away. 🚶 • Easy access by Grab or taxi. 💰 Admission Fee • Adults: 30,000 VND (approximately 45 baht) • Children: Free 🏠 Atmosphere & Highlights • Exhibits include prison cells, prison equipment, and stories of the struggle for freedom. • There's a section detailing the history of political prisoners, including American prisoners during the Vietnam War. • The exhibits are thorough, with some creepy moments, but they're also very interesting. 💡 Things to Know • It's not large, but it's packed with information. It's a fun read, and you'll spend about 1-2 hours there. • Perfect for those who want to understand Vietnam beyond just sightseeing. • The atmosphere inside is relatively quiet and serious. Dress appropriately. ✨ My feelings after the visit: • I saw a different side of Hanoi, from the bustling Old Quarter to the quieter, more intimate atmosphere. • I walked away feeling like this trip had more depth. It wasn't just about sightseeing, but also about absorbing history. #HoaLoPrison #MaisonCentrale #HanoiHistory #VietnamWar #HanoiTrip #VietnamTravel
