But if you did stay in Hanoi for a month…what
would you do?
Well, Hanoi is, besides from being the capital of
Vietnam, a fascinating blend of East and West,
with Chinese influence from centuries of
dominance, and French design from its colonial
past. The “Old Quarter” is a very atmospheric
place to be and you could spend quite some time
just soaking in the atmosphere from outside one of
the many Bia Hoi (fresh beer) establisments…and
watching the local characters and street life… Did I
mention that a beer is around 20 cent?
The Old Quarter, also known as the 36 streets, is a
bustling area of narrow streets and home to
literally thousands of small businesses and
shopkeepers. Originally each of the 36 streets
names' was related to the products being sold
there. Hence you can walk from Fish Street to Tin
Street to Bamboo Street. It's a great place to
explore on foot with numerous photo
opportunities....
If you like me have a weakness for silk...Hanoi is
The Promised Land for silk and custom tailoring.
The bargains are among the best in Asia.
In Hanoi You could also learn how to cook -
Vietnamese style. Your Hanoi cooking class will be
held at Highway4 - one of the very best local
restaurants in Hanoi. Highway4 is a Vietnamese
culinary institution amongst locals, travelers and
expatriates. Your cooking class begins with a
guided walk around the famous Hang Be Street
market, deep in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter.
Here you will learn more about the various local
ingredients including vegetables, fruits and
Vietnamese herbs and spices…
Hanoi is one of Asia's most charming cities…it is
often referred to as “The Paris of The East”. You
will not get bored in Hanoi…You will find a wide
variety of street stands and restaurants with
prices varying from 1 USD and up. You will find live
music establishments in the city – and the music
normally starts around nine o`clock and close
around midnight.
If you are interested in history – these places
could occupy you for a while:
Ho Chi Minh Complex: It was completed in 1975
and the complex contains Ho Chi Minh's
mausoleum, his former stilt-house residence, the
Presidential Palace and the Ho Chi Minh museum.
The Temple of Literature: Originally built as a
temple to Confucius, this is the site of Vietnam's
first university dating back to 1070. Inside are the
stone stele mounted on the backs of turtles,
inscribed with the names of the university's
graduates. The complex is divided into five
courtyards with different paths that would
originally have been reserved for the Emperor and
his mandarins. One of the courtyards contains the
statue of Confucius guarded by two beautiful
bronze storks standing on turtles. The temple
highlights the importance that Vietnamese society
placed then and now on education.
The Museum of Ethnology: This museum is widely
acknowledged as the best in the country and has
an extensive display dedicated to Vietnam's 54
Ethnic minority peoples.
The Ngoc Son temple is set on a tiny island on the
Hoan Kiem Lake, its history dating back to the 13th
century. The temple is reached by crossing the The
Huc Bridge which literally means the 'Place Touched
by Morning Sunbeams'.
A cheap way to see all in one day is to buy a
Private Hanoi City Tour for only 24.50 USD.
If the city crowds in on you after a while – take a
trip out in the beautiful countryside of Northern
Vietnam. You will find charming villages and
stunning nature.
Hanoi gives you the best chance to enjoy the
World Heritage listed Halong Bay from the
luxury of a junk boat, the Jewel of the Bay. Here
you can relax on the tanning deck, swim in the
clear, aqua blue waters and enjoy the best cuisine
available in the bay. All the while you will be looked
after by our dedicated and attentive crew. There is
also the option of exploring some of the bay's most
secluded lagoons using easy-to-maneuver kayaks
for some unforgettable scenery only accessible by
kayak.
Whatever you do – Enjoy Hanoi.
