Attraction 1: Red Church

Ho Chi Minh City’s Notre Dame Cathedral, also known as the Red Church because it is built with red bricks, is the most famous landmark in Ho Chi Minh City. The church was built in 1883 and is a souvenir from the French colonial period. The architectural shape is well-proportioned, solemn and majestic. The two 40-meter-high bell towers soar into the sky, imitating the design of the bell tower of Notre Dame de Paris. All the red bricks used to build the church were shipped from France and have not faded at all. In the garden square in front of the church, there stands a 4-ton statue of the Virgin Mary, which was donated by the Roman Church in 1945. The exterior porch and other parts of the church are covered with exquisite carvings, and the interior is surrounded by small prayer rooms, each with different shrines, sculptures and decorations. This Catholic church is still in use today, and many devout believers gather here every Sunday and religious festivals.

Attraction 2: One Pillar Pagoda

Located southwest of Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, it was built in 1049 during the Li Dynasty. The temple got its name because it was built on a large stone pillar in Lingmao Pond. The Lingmarsh Pond is square in shape, with brick railings around the pond. The temple is a wooden structure, also square, 3 meters on each side, with corridors on all sides. Legend: Li Taizu was childless in his old age. He once dreamed that Guanyin Bodhisattva, sitting on a lotus leaf, handed him a baby boy. Soon, Li Taizu married a young peasant girl. She later gave birth to a boy for Li Taizu, who was exactly the same as the baby boy in his dream. So Li Taizu ordered the construction of the One-Pillar Temple to express his gratitude. The stone pillar with a diameter of 1.25 meters and a height of 4 meters above the ground symbolizes the flower stalk. The four wooden supports around the stone pillar are like flowers. The temple body and the slightly tilted eaves on the four sides form the petals. There is a plaque hanging under the eaves of the front of the temple with the title "Lotus Terrace". Due to several repairs, the existing temple is smaller than the original one, but its artistic style is still preserved.
