Hanoi - I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Vietnam Military History Museum in Hanoi with my friend Edmund. Located at the historic Flag Tower of Hanoi, the museum is a fascinating dive into the history of Vietnam’s military efforts, spanning from the early resistance against French colonialism to the American War and beyond.
As we explored, I was particularly drawn to the vivid storytelling of Vietnam's fight for independence and sovereignty. Each section of the museum offers a different era of military history, and what struck me most was the intricate display of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, a pivotal moment in Vietnam’s victory over French colonial forces.

The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly the Flag Tower, built in 1812, which offered panoramic views of Hanoi. It was a reminder of the deep historical roots that bind Vietnam's past with its present, and standing there with Edmund made me appreciate the significance of the site even more.
Our trip to the Vietnam Military History Museum was not just a look at military artifacts but a powerful reflection on the determination and strength of a country that has faced immense struggles and emerged victorious. It was an unforgettable experience, one that broadened my understanding of Vietnam's rich history and left me with a deeper appreciation for its people’s perseverance.
