The Malaysian Food Festival in Hanoi provides a unique opportunity to deepen cultural and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries through food.

This little street in Hanoi's Old Quarter hosts a colorful display every Mid-Autumn Festival, attracting young people for "check-in" pictures.

The prestigious award could help Hanoi to strengthen its competitive edge in the tourism sector and attract a greater number of international visitors to the capital city.

Hanoi is looking for solutions to boost food and gift tourism, support artisan villages, and stimulate spending by domestic and foreign travelers.

The unique cultural features of the thousand-year-old Thang Long-Hanoi will be on view for the entertainment of locals and visitors to the country's southern economic hub.
