[Vietnam/Hanoi] Hoa Lo Prison: A historical heritage that cannot be avoided when learning about Vietnam

Hỏa Lò Prison is a historical building in Hanoi, Vietnam, built in 1896 during the French colonial period 🇻🇳

It was originally used to hold Vietnamese independence activists and political prisoners, and was also called the "Hanoi Hilton" due to its strict management system 👂

Inside the prison, narrow cells and torture instruments are on display, giving a glimpse into the harsh life that prisoners experienced at the time.

During the Vietnam War, American prisoners of war were held here, and famous people such as future US Senator John McCain were imprisoned here.

Part of the prison is open to the public as a museum, where you can learn about the hardships of Vietnam's colonial period, the independence movement, and even the history of the Vietnam War👍

Hoa Lo Prison is an important spot for learning about Vietnam's history as a symbol of past oppression and resistance, and is also a popular spot for tourists✨

📍Location: 1 P. Hoả Lò, Trần Hưng Đạo, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội, Vietnam
