One Pillar Pagoda

Why go

The single support makes this monument unlike Hanoi's broad courtyards and ceremonial squares. Its modest footprint creates a useful change of scale on a Ba Dinh walk. Look at the pond, column and pavilion together to understand the unusual form more clearly than a distant photograph allows.

What to look for

• A small wooden pagoda rises from a pond on a single stone support.

Useful to know

• Combine this brief stop with the mausoleum precinct nearby.
