I hope you are well. I want to tell you about my recent trip to Hanoi – the capital of
Vietnam. I went on a culture-packed day tour with a tour company called City Break and it was so amazing!
During the tour, we visited some remarkable places like the Temple of Literature, which
was Vietnam's first national university. Walking around the traditional Vietnamese
architecture and seeing the beautiful gardens and lakes was extremely interesting. We
also went to Hanoi Botanical Garden, where we had a picnic near a beautiful lake.
I was also impressed by the beauty of the One Pillar Pagoda. It's a traditional temple
located in the middle of a peaceful pond and is a symbol of Hanoi. After, we visited the
busy shopping area - Old Quarter, where we found handmade items at competitive prices
and tasted delicious Vietnamese street food.
It was a great day of culture and history. I highly recommend touring Hanoi with City Break if you have a chance. Best regards, Anna Value

I agree with these statements above.
- Cultural attractions teach visitors about a country's history because these attractions
provide visitors with the opportunity to learn about the history, traditions, and customs of a country.
- Cultural attractions preserve local traditions and buildings because many buildings and
sites are preserved to keep them in their original state.
