Hoa Lo Prison, or "Hanoi Hilton"<br> Sightseeing in Hanoi picture - Hao Lo prison held Vietnamese revolutionaries under French rule (1901-1954), & American POWs during the Vietnam war (1964 - 1973). The American POWs who were held there & mistreated sarcastically called it the "Hanoi Hilton". What remains of the prison was turned into this tourist attraction in 1998. Many of the tourists shuttled by guides from cell to cell inside the site are too young to have personal memories of the war.
