The State-owned Ho Tay Co last week launched electric-car tours of historical sites around Ha Noi's West Lake. Twenty electric cars were imported for the 18km tour which has 10 stops.

West Lake Visit, West Lake Discovery, and West Lake's Colours offer travellers the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the lake.

They depart at West Lake Water Park and finish at the Ha Noi Trade Union Hotel, taking passengers to some 20 historic sites such as Tran Quoc Pagoda, Quan Thanh Temple, and Vong Thi Pagoda.-VNS
