Travel Diary Museum in Hanoi

After visiting the war museum we stumbled across the History Museum right next door to the Historical War Museum, as the pictures show there was a large fort like structure with a shrine built at the top of it. The rest of the museum focused on preserving the cultural history of the Vietnamese. This was an excellent museum full of beautiful traditional style gardens and the biggest collection of bonsai plant that i have ever witnessed. The majority of the bonsai plants would have been 200-300 years of age, if not older. and there was hundreds of them. they were beautifully laid out in a traditional style courtyard. Some of the bonsai plants were all surrounded in water inside of the pot.
