The best experiences in Hanoi
Wandering around Hanoi`s Old Quarter or gathering with friends, sipping a cup of lemon tea on the sidewalks are unforgettable memories for people who have ever been to Hanoi at least once time.
Apart from landscapes and historic sites of thousand years old, the unique little corners of the city also impress much on tourists.
Anyone who grew up with Hanoi would immediately recognize the activities of youthful vitality and love of life. If you want to get back to that time once again, you should try some following suggestions.
Staying up late in Hanoi
You will feel like you are in your twenties. The trip can start by wandering the streets when vehicles are busy, then turn over ceremony of lowering the flag Mausoleum viewed at 9.pm and immersed in the heady fragrance of milk.
Nightfall does not mean Hanoi really go to sleep. The steaming noodle shop in the old town, the bar was busy talking, street stalls from Long Bien, Quang Ba flower market began active from midnight.
Enjoying food streets
Temporarily ignoring the luxurious restaurant to the sidewalk cafes or hidden deep in the alley, that's how much you enjoy typical dishes of Hanoi with fresh mind.
If this is your first time to the capital, do not hesitate to chat with children on the street who wander around Hoan Kiem Lake. They will probably tell you enthusiastically dining places that only local people know including its noodles on Hang Chieu street, Pho on Hang Trong street or tomato baked rolls in Au Trieu Lane.
Gossiping with a cup of lemon tea
Previously, you almost only find lemon tea at Church Street. Over time, the lemon tea shops sprang up everywhere in the city and is regarded as favorite gathering point for young people.
You do not necessarily have to drink lemon tea, nor should such gorgeous dress to a party at this place. The important thing is feeling comfortable and enjoyable gatherings on weekends
