Hanoi – the city for peace
Hanoi, one of the most visited of the Vietnam popular destinations, is the beautiful capital city of Vietnam, sprawling in the banks of the Red River with French colonial heritage. Hanoi has a population of 5 million which is constantly growing. This is a reflection of Hanoi being a metropolitan area of northern Vietnam as well as the country’s political centre. Hanoi has been traditionally a point of convergence of much of country’s talents in arts and culture with a heavy influence of Confucian values among the people.
Hanoi today is a somewhat slow paced city but with a charm and elegance of its own. It has an abundance of lovely landscapes such as lakes, shaded boulevards, and lush green public parks and a touch of French architecture in the streets. Today with Vietnam tourism on a rise, Hanoi readily welcomes visitors willing to have a vacation in Hanoi.
There are a lot of places to see and a lot of things to buy. If you want to relax, you can go for walk around Guom lake or some other lake such as West lake, Thien Quang lake, at night, seating around the lake to drink coffee …. All them are very beautiful and fresh. Maybe, very many tourists like shopping when they have a vacation to other country, Old Quarter is centre of hustle and bustle in Hanoi and the most popular shopping area in Hanoi. It is a fascinating place of 40 streets packed with shops selling all kinds of goods and pavements covered with cafes and restaurants with each street named after its specialty good and service.
