Gióng temple in Sóc Sơn district

According to our legend, Thánh Gióng and his horse flew into the sky after he helped Vietnamese fight against Chinese in the old days. That's why there are statues of this hero and his horse at the temple.

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.
