Dear Mira,

It’s great to know that you’re coming to Viet Nam. What a pity you can only spend one day in Ha Noi.

There are so many interesting places in the city, but I think within one day you should be able to visit three places. The first place I suggest is Viet Nam National Museum of History. You like history, so it’s a must-see place. There’s an extensive collection of artefacts tracing Viet Nam’s history. They’re arranged chronologically from primitive life to modern times. The second place is Hoan Kiem Lake. It’s one of the symbols of Ha Noi. There you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and visit Ngoc Son Temple. You can also have a look at the Old Quarter. Wander around the old streets and some ancient housed to explore Vietnamese culture. Conveniently, these places are close to one another, so we can walk around easily.

Tell me when you’re coming, so I can show you around these places.

Look forward to seeing you soon!

Best wishes,

Thuc Anh
