Happy Chinese New Year or Happy New year or Happy Tet is still going in the capital of Vietnam – Hanoi.

uring Tet Holiday, Most of vietnamese people(Whose are living in Hanoi from outside of Hanoi ) they usually go their Homeland provinces for better celebrations of New Year.
That’s why Hanoi is almost empty now. Even the most famous place in Hanoi Old Quarter(Heart of Hanoi) is vacant or empty , there are very few number of people most of them are Foreigners likes me are living in Hanoi during Tet Holiday.
But I’m really enjoying the real beauty of Hanoi & it’s seem more gorgeous at Night.

@sonnyNg Yeah brother, I’m suffering - No shops is available, even Big C Supermarket & Vinmart is also closed. Two days No food brother. Just bread… …& egg
It was built in 1049.The shape of the pagoda resembles a Lotus flower.
Accoding to the legend (as I remember) king Lee Thai Tone ,who had no heirs,once in a dream saw a goddness sitting on a Lotus flower and handed him a boy.The king married later on a young girl and they had a son.In gratitude the king built this pagoda.
During the Tet we liked to walk along the lake of the Returned Sword.This lake is located in the centre of Hanoi.I remember Turtle tower,it stands on a separate island,we saw there a huge turtle,which used to be in this lake and which is an exhibit now.
Do you know @sonnyNg , @MashaPS , @abdulhai3722 that in Moscow in trade centre Hanoi-Moscow there is copy One Pillar Pagoda ?
Thank you, as it reminds to cherish the story and legends of my country! : ]
I am not aware of the architecture, that is being specially built in the trade center, as I can feel the partnership and connection between Russia and Viet Nam!
