May 2026Good overview, a bit rushed
Solid introduction to the city, but we only got about 20 minutes at the Temple of Literature before moving on — would have liked more time there.

March 2026Water puppet show ticket included was a nice touch. Crossing traffic near Hoàn Kiếm Lake is chaotic but the guide walked us through it patiently.

General
Modest dress at the memorials
Modest dress is required at the Mausoleum grounds and Temple of Literature — no shorts above the knee or sleeveless tops. Bring water and comfortable shoes.
Questions travellers ask
No — the interior is open mornings only, closed Mondays and Fridays, and requires modest dress with no photography; we visit the exterior and gardens, which are open daily.
