Vietnamese people travel Vietnam: Zero Milestone – Hanoi Highlights

Accordingly, the Zero milestone of Hanoi must be the highlight of not only the capital but also the whole country, which is a tourist attraction. Therefore, the architectural plan must be highly aesthetic, unique and suitable for the capital of a thousand years of civilization.
