After visiting the Thành Chương's Viet Palace, we went to another site which is also located in Sóc Sơn district, Hanoi. This temple is for worshiping a hero of Vietnam in the old days.

Thành Chương
He is really a Vietnamese contemporay artist, who founded Thành Chương's Viet Palace even on his own. The place lets people enjoy know the heritage of your country's culture, as you well displayed photos . This is, I think, a new type of museum, avoiding "too academic to understand". All right, Ha! I will add here to my visiting list.

Hi there, thank you very much for your interesting blogs. I love and miss Hanoi (where I was born). When you have free time, can you take some photos of traffic lights in Hanoi and write a blog about that (compare the place with and without traffic lights. I am sure it would be very interesting. I noticed that the new system of traffic lights in Hanoi possesses the down counters, but not for pedestrians. Very strange, but more efficient, I think.
