Still, as you walk by, you will be able to witness the pace of life in this peculiar city.

I’d like to send my sincerely thanks to Tripadvisor. I had an amazing experience in Hanoi. With the informative and personalized commentary friendly guide, I got to see and do so many things in this trip. In the morning, I visited the important buildings in Ba Dinh Square, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and the stilt house of Ho Chi Minh president. They’re all very captivated. Next, the guide took me to the very special architecture place – One Pillar Pagoda. Then I had a chance to visit Temple of Literature with historical relics. After that, I enjoyed unique Vietnamese food, pho bo. It was extremely delicious. One more thing that was unforgettable to me is Egg Coffee. It’s a must-try drink when coming to Hanoi. In the afternoon, I explored Hoan Kiem Lake with a leisurely one-hour cyclo tour then walked into the hidden alleys of Hanoi Old Quarter to learn about local customs and Hanoian lifestyle. I will surely come back to Vietnam and definitely recommend Tripadvisor.ymw-369

If you plan to travel Southeast Asian, don’t skip the Capital of Vietnam. Hanoi retains elegance and charm not often found in this part of the world, the city’s French influence is to be seen in the fine old colonial buildings and tree lined boulevards. Ah, one thing special is that there are so many motorbikes on the road, it’s quite dangerous but really unmissable to experience. It is so deniable if you don’t try traditional Vietnamese food. How delicious is it! How great is the trip! Thank you for giving me a memorable journey.O8634ZOkarlh

I am so overwhelming of the beauty of Hanoi. I can see both the modern of buildings, hotel and the historic of Buddhism temples, old houses and streets. Moreover, Vietnamese people are so friendly, happy and hospitable. They made me feel optimistic in my life and thanks to professional guide, I could enhanced my knowledge with Vietnamese culture and history. Ah, especially, I am really interested in Ngoc Son Temple in the central of Hoan Kiem Lake and Hanoi Old Quarter, which seems to be the symbol of Hanoi. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you so much.
