It’s no surprise that Hanoi - Vietnam is still one of the most attractive tripping destinations to many Eastern travelers. This city has one of the biggest rivers in South East Asia, the Hong river. Furthermore, you’d be amazed to know that Hanoi is one of the oldest capital cities on Earth.

I believe that for first time travelers, they’d be easily lost among many beautiful places to visit when they come to Hanoi. That’s why I will share with you my list of worthwhile visiting places.

Wanna have a meal? It’s time to visit some restaurants and hotels here

I can tell you that it’s not hard to find a good restaurant in Vietnam because we  really love foods. And in Vietnamese, we call them “nha hang Hanoi” or “quan ngon Hanoi”. And I bet you will be surprised with the foods you could put your hands on in those hotels and restaurants. They’re really delicious.

You will see many “strange” foods here such as fried scorpions, satay frog legs... Want to taste the world famous noodle - “Pho”? It’s not a problem because we have many places serving that food in Hanoi. When you visit these hotels and restaurants, you will be amazed at the beautiful Vietnam home accessories they have. So, it’s highly recommend that you visit these places if you really want to enjoy the Vietnamese atmosphere.

Take a visit at the Old Quarter

One of the most exciting place to visit when you come to Hanoi is the Old Quarter. With 36 old streets running across each other, you will find it really feels like you’re traveling through a maze. The special thing about the place is, each street was once specialized in one handicraft. But you can still find many interesting things there if you want to buy some gifts.



Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

This place is the place where ‘Uncle Ho’ - the great father of Vietnam - lying. His body has been placed and protected by guards here for a long time. And to people in Vietnam, it’s a great honor to have the permission to come and see him. If you want to take a visit to meet Uncle Ho, you better act like other Vietnamese. Be polite and show the respect.

Whatever you do on your Vietnam trip, Hanoi will definitely be one of the most memorable places that you visit.
