General introduction
To fully understand and feel a city that is 1,000 years old, you have to spend a lot of time. But to see the most interesting things about it, it only takes 3 hours, as long as you can walk.
Forget big streets and modern places with big buildings. You don't come to Hanoi to enjoy familiar things, right? Take a three-hour walking tour around the Hanoi old quarter and you will see how interesting it is. It is certainly a different world: a huge market, a giant village that is messy but holds a lot of value.
DAN CHU SQUARE
You have to sit all day to listen to the stories that happened around it over the past 100 years. It is basically the intersection between the East and the West, between traditional Vietnam and civilized France, between those who have been dominated and those who have once dominated.
DONG XUAN MARKET
A 1000 year old city has so many markets. Of course, Dong Xuan marrket is not the oldest one but it is the largest traditional market still living in the heart of Hanoi's Old Quarter. Ah! It is only over 130 years old.
BACH MA TEMPLE
Do you want to know how people relied on gods to accomplish great things? The story about Bach Ma temple is exactly like that. This architecture is one of the most sacred places in Hanoi.
HERITAGE HOUSE
Many times we think that people are living better and more civilized lives. But if you come to this monument, that is not the case. A typical example of Hanoi's ancient architecture in the 18th century. It is very beautiful, lovely and pretty. Truly a legacy.
RAILWAY STREET COFFEE
The feeling of danger in the excitement. That is the experience of drinking coffee in Hanoi's train street. Now it has become a favorite place. Everyone came together, waiting for the train to arrive.
