The Buu Dien, or General Post Office, is housed in a lovely French colonial building in Hanoi, Vietnam. The General Post Office consists of the international post office, facing Indira Gandhi Park, and the domestic post office, facing Ho Hoan Kiem.
The Buu Dien is one of the buildings I passed repeatedly when sights in Hanoi. Due to its aesthetic value, I decided to document it for AsiaExplorers as well.
