RECOMMENDATIONS
MORNINGStart your day the Vietnamese way, experience the hive of activity at the lake from sunrise with a cup of Vietnamese coffee (café sua da)and watch life go by. Hanoi's special because everything happens in the street - the talking, the eating, the bargaining. Hoan Kiem lake, with the 18th-centery pagoda Thap Rua at the center of the lake is particularly popular. On a tiny island is Den Ngoc SonTemple which is acessible by a red bridge. Then, leading to views of the Ho Chi Minh Complex with One Pillar Pagoda and the impressive Presidential Palace. To finish the morning visit the Temple of Literature, from the 11th - century this is Vietnam's first university. |
AFTERNOONStarting in the Old Quarter, spend the afternon shopping. Countless shops offer good-value Vietnamese ceramics, silks, lacquerware, and linens. The area around Nha Tho is becoming the Hanoi equivalent of Paris's Marais. For the more custom-minded and bargain-conscious, we would like to recomend checking out the fabric markets of Hom Market and Dong Xuan Market. Tailors along Hang Gai Street can make anything to order from a traditional Aodai silk tunic and pants to Western-style suits. With 36 streets, you can spend all afternoon for shopping and walking around. Each street was orginally named after, and linked to, an artisanal trade that flourished over six centuries ago. Savor the city's atmosphere while sipping a draft beer, delivered fresh daily from one of three major breweries, at one of the many "bia hoi". |
EVENINGTo finish a day in Ha Noi, head to one of the Thang Long Water Puppet Theater's nightly shows accompanied by traditional Vietnamese music. To enjoy an evening like a true local, after the show, take a Swan boat ride on either Truc Bac or West Lake, a great activity for couples or families alike. |

DID YOU KNOW ?Long Bien BridgeLong Bien bridge has designed by French architect Gustave Eiffel who designed Eiffel Tower, France icon as well. It was completed in 1903 and is the famous bridge in Hanoi's people memory. Long Bien bridge has went through 2 wars and bombs but still standing until today. Long Bien bridge is not open for car so you can walk along this bridge in the morning to see the sunrise or sunset in the evening. Hoa Lo PrisonHoa Lo Prison has known as "Hanoi Hilton" by American and was built by the French in 1896. It had used as a house Vietnamese political prisoners. John McCain was a prisoner here for six years after his plane crashed in Truc Back lake. Le Mat Snake VillageAbout 7 km Northest of Hanoi off Highway 1A, there is a place you can take a shot of rice wine with a still beating heart inside. Prepared 7 traditonal dishes, none of the parts will go to waste. Just enjoy you food and relax, don't look at them cooking. |
