Mia Pagoda was constructed during the Tran Dynasty (1225-1406) and still houses numerous ancient artifacts. It has the largest collection of ancient statues in Vietnam, with 287 statues.
Duong Lam is renowned for its architectural charm and culinary traditions, making it a must-visit destination for tourists in Hanoi.
