Hanoi’s 1000 years of history unraveled
The landmark Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi will take visitors through 1,000 years of the Vietnam capital’s history to mark the city’s 1000th anniversary next month,
Together with inbound tour operator Exotissimo, the excursion begins in the 1000s with a visit to the Temple of Literature, founded in 1070, and concludes in the 1900s with a visit to Ba Dinh Square, where Ho Chi Minh declared the nation’s independence on September 2, 1945.
The ‘Hanoi 1000’ initiative won additional impetus for development last month after UNESCO put Hanoi’s imperial assets on its World Heritage List.
The Thăng Long Royal Citadel is Vietnam’s sixth World Heritage Site, joining Hue, Hoi An, Halong Bay, My Son and Phong Nha.
“Every one of the past centuries is a remarkable showcase for a significant Vietnamese development,†said George Ehrlich-Adams, general manager of Exotissimo Travel Vietnam.
“And with Hanoi 1000, we expect to embed in visitors’ memories a collection of unforgettable references to Vietnam’s past.â€
The three-night, four-day package will be in effect for three months, starting October 1.
The cost is US $821 per person, based on double occupancy in the Metropole’s historic old wing. The cost includes guiding services by a professor of history.
