Getting a memory for life at Tháp Hòa Phong, four favourable winds tower

Hoa Phong Tower, Tháp Hòa Phong, at the southeast end of Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi is where you spot current bridal fashion in Viet Nam.
The ladies here are already engaged, of course. But it is a happy spot flourishing with photographers, their assistants, equipment, and some very happy looking ladies in bridal costumes.
And some grooms-to-be, waiting to get ordered around by all the others.
They probably need this general rehearsal in preparation for their new life. directions.
Favourable winds for life ahead
The tower is the only remains of the Bao An pagoda-complex situated on this spot. This was in the historical centre of Old Hanoi.
Hoa Phong means 4-season favourable winds, the tower having four gates looking in four directions. No wonder this is considered a fortunate spot to start a marriage.
