Hoa Phuong

Hoa Phuong (30 August 2006)


Hoa Phuong is a standalone tower on the east bank of Ho Hoan Kiem in Hanoi. It marks the entrance of the former Bao An Pagoda complex which was demolished by the French in the 1890s when they recontructed the city. You would easily pass through the Hoa Phuong if you are walking around the lake, as I did a few times, during my stay in Hanoi.

Beware of pickpockets around the Ho Hoan Kiam. My wife almost had her purse taken by a pickpocket but luckily she realised something was amiss early enough. The thief threw her purse to the ground and got away when she turned around.

Getting there

Hoa Phuong is on the eastern back of the Ho Hoan Kiem. You will come across it when you walk around the lake.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
