SUMMARY:Hanoi City Walk (English) p.m – Trúc Bạch Lake & Ngũ Xã - FULL
DESCRIPTION:This walk is now full. Please RSVP for the waiting list and prirority for a repeat walk \nThe theme of this wak is very eclectic touuching on bronze casting\, and the general changes to the area\, the former and present lives of the land and buildings.  We start the tour at Quán Thánh temple\, the almost purely Taoist temple with 350-year-old bronze statue of Trấ́́n Vũ.  We refer to legends around Trúc Bạch lake – stories\, history of the area\, the part the young people played in Hanoi’s reconstruction after the French war\, and silk making in the old days. On Ngũ Xã island at the east end of Trúc Bạch lake we hear about how a special bronze statue was made and  how the fame of the island turned from bronze to food. The walk ends outside the Đúc Đồng Ngũ Xã bronze casting showroom at 178 Trấn Vũ – home and business of Mr Nguyễn Văn Ưng\, whose family has over 400years bronze casting history. Note that the key places of workship that feature in this walk are still closed so we will add a small diversion to the usual route to make up for time. \nPlease RSVP to  Stella. \nRSVP to stella – stella@fvheritage.org \nmax 8 spaces \n2.45pm meet in Highland coffee near Quan Thanh Temple\, end at 178 Tran Vu – allow 2hrs 45 mins (time is TBC depending if the pagoda on Ngu Xa is open or closed) \nNB: with all our outdoor events at this time of year we are at the mercy of the weather and we know there can be sudden torrential rain and intense humidity.  So our walks for this month are subject to the rain. This walk will take place in heat\, sun and drizzle but not of course if its a torrential downpour. Please give your mobile number when you RSVP. \nMax 8 people on the walk. \nIf the walk is full please still RSVP for the waiting list. \nPlease follow and like us:Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...\n\n	Related\n
