(Draft) Ngoc - Sun Pagoda, Hanoi

Naila and I walked to the Ngoc Son Pagoda, because she's really good at finding cool things to do. Being right in the heart of the city, it was quite busy. This was one of the few places we found that had English signs. There are 2 giant turtles in one of the buildings.

It's so impressive to see all the beauty and detail in the temples.Read more
