Hanoi – A city of memories and future
Hanoi is a dynamic and ideal city for those who love the intersection of cultural beauty and tradition and modernity.
According toTelecommunicationsHanoi is “the most attractive urban area in Asia, with ancient mossy and mossy French architecture still blending with modern bikes and the bustling breath of a new era.” Binmin of Sword Lake, the bells of the Trancock Pagoda release the mist of the lake to the west, the smell of nuggets in the village of autumn wind… all creates something deeply lively with Hanoi and always remembers foreign tourists.
It is no coincidence that Hanoi is often compared to the “mind of Vietnamese culture.” There is a narrow façade, but thick history, the toad cafe and the fragrant bowls of pho, hidden behind the green tree groves, are all “emotional treasures” that you can’t find anywhere else.
