Vietnam Military History Museum
Km 6+500, CT03, Xuân Phương, Hà Nội
Brutalist war museum with tanks and downed jets beneath a tower built from aircraft wreckage.
This guide to the Vietnam Military History Museum in Hanoi centers on tank 843, parked in the courtyard, and the official story crediting it with smashing through the gates of Saigon's Independence Palace on the day the war ended. You'll hear how a French photographer's camera caught something the official account left out, and how her photo went unseen for two decades. Look for the forty-five-meter tower rising nearby, welded entirely from downed aircraft wreckage.
