Set on a small hill near the northern corner of Truc Bach lake, Cau Nhi temple is recognizable with a story connected with the time when King Ly Cong Uan transfered his capital. Ly Cong Uan was born in the year of Dog (974 a.C). From what has been said in traditional belief, dog is able to expel evil souls and defend the land.

Phố Phan Đình PhùngLined with flame trees, Truc Bach Lake has plenty going on around its banks and no shortage of places to stop for a coffee, beer or lunch, so is worth a wander if you’ve time. During the 18th century the Trinh lords built a palace on the lakeside; it was later transformed into a reformatory for wayward royal concubines, who were condemned to spend their days weaving pure white silk. That's why it's named Truc Bach.

The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, is an intriguing relic of Vietnam’s history and, signifying its historical and cultural importance, was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.

Tổ Chim Xanh, Vietnamese for ‘Bluebird’s Nest,’ is every bit as cute as it sounds, with a cozy little library, a corner for live music performances, and a fantastic rooftop terrace. As pleasant as the ground floor is, the highlight is the spacious rooftop terrace from where you can unashamedly spy on the surrounding residents. The rooftop is dwarfed and encircled by various Soviet era apartment buildings brought to life by the colorful hanging clothing that the inhabitants have put out to dry.

This bakery-cum-tearoom isn’t quite like anything else in Hanoi. The extensive dessert menu and friendly staff are reason enough to come, but its the wonderfully cluttered and poky interior that takes the cake in this hideaway.
Sitting in Tiem Banh Nho Noi is a bit like sitting in a mine. Not a real mine of course, but one of those fake mines that you find in museums and theme parks that are trying to give visitors a lifelike mine experience.
