1. French Quarter
Learn about the French invasion period and how it continues to influence life in Vietnam today.
2. Old Quarter
See the divide between the Old Quarter and the French Quarter—where modern life meets heritage, and local culture adapts in its own unique way.

Duration: 30 mins
3. Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake)
Our first philosophy lesson begins with the legend of Hoàn Kiếm Lake in Hanoi—a story that has become a guiding compass for the Vietnamese way of life, mindset, and spirit. It’s also a beautiful spot for photos!

We’ll make our way through one of the most prestigious landmarks in the French Quarter—the Hanoi Opera House—to reach a hidden modern coffee shop.
