"B-52 bomber It took ages to find the (much acclaimed at AFAR) sunken B-52 bomber in Ha Noi. The twisted pile of metal hardly resembles a plane anymore, but it was interesting nonetheless. Even more fascinating to me was the 'lake' it had fallen into. This emerald green pool was literally bubbling from some mysterious living sludge... I half expected the three-eyed fish from the Simpsons to crawl out! It was awesome."

Cool historical spot. I enjoyed talking with the local youth fishing in the lake,watched them catch a few fish,some kept for food,some released. Actually goldfish and koi caught were released.

Fascinating. Make sure to read the sign on the other side of the lake. If walking you have to travel some seriously narrow back streets that appear as as a little world of their own.

A place to remind people about the destructive nature of the war, and the resistance of the brave people to save their motherland.

Lovely little area, great way to experience local life and see a little bit of history along the way. Type in ‘Ho B52’ to google maps to make sure it takes you to the right location.

A very unique and special relic to witness. Quite mesmerising how it is simply left how it lay when shot down in the 1970s. Worth reading up, little information once there. Type in “ho b52” into Google Maps to find it and walk through the backstreets to find a secluded area.

Worth visiting if you were around in the early 70’s a lasting memorial to all those lost in the Vietnam war.
