From FVH:
Learn about bronze casting and its history in northern Vietnam, visit a “kitchen” foundry, see the largest single pour bronze statue in Vietnam – all on tiny Ngũ Xã island on the east end of Hồ Trúc Bạch. Then, walk with us to discover Đền Quán Thánh, the very important, old, almost purely Taoist temple and its 3.7-ton 350-year-old bronze statue of Trấn Vũ, Hanoi’s Protector of the North. On the way, learn about the history of Hồ Trúc Bạch.
