Tourists will have the opportunity to visit famous sites along the route
including Vong Thi, Tao Sach, and Tran Quoc pagodas, Quan Thanh temple and 20
other relics, and enjoy the special food around West Lake including noodles,
snails, and crispy shrimp pancakes.
Each tour lasts from one to two hours. There are a total of 30 cars, each one
covering 0.6-1km.
**On the same day, a pair of ceramic dragons, the largest of their kind in
Vietnam, were inaugurated in the West Lake area.
The two ceramic dragons, which are made after the dragon style of the Ly
dynasty, are 7.5 metres tall each. Their bodies are decorated by ceramic plates.
The work was made by artisans from Bat Trang pottery craft village in Hanoi at a
total cost of nearly VND2.6 billion. Earlier, the pair set the Vietnam Guinness
record as the largest ceramic dragons and they were on display on the occasion
of the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long – Hanoi in 2010 before being moved to
the new site.
