Hanoi Old Quarter

Walking through "Hanoi 36 old streets" may be the most wonderful joy of your trip to Hanoi. Alternatively, you can appreciate the beauty of these streets by tram or cyclo. Imagine one day wandering around the streets under the green trees, going shopping, drinking coffee, and purchasing an interesting book for yourself to read. It may be the most comfortable and relaxed feeling you have in Hanoi's Old Quarter. Trang Tien Street is where you can get Trang Tien ice cream, Hanoi's most well-known and distinctive ice cream. Furthermore, if you are a fashionista, go to Hang Gai, Hang Hom, Hang Bac, Hang Buom, and so on to find some fashionable but reasonably priced clothing for yourself. If you like cloth and silk, please visit Hang Gai, Hang Dao Street, and some other nearby streets. For Che Guevara fans, there is a shop called Che Guevara that sells a variety of souvenirs with his image on them. And if you like books, Dinh Le Street is a must-see. Another unique feature that can be found in all streets of the Old Quarter in particular, and the Hanoi capital in general, is the image of colorful flowers being sold by some locals on a bike. This is a very beautiful moment that you might not see in other cities. Because Hanoi is home to several flower gardens, including Nhat Tan, Tay Tuu, and Me Linh, flowers in Hanoi are inexpensive.

Furthermore, street food in Hanoi's Old Quarter is well-known. Vietnamese noodle soup (Pho Hanoi), stuffed sticky rice balls, snail rice noodles, kebab rice noodles, sweet cruel, and other dishes are popular. Furthermore, international tourists express their excitement when drinking ice tea on the streets. According to these visitors, this is the most distinguishing feature of Hanoi, which is not found in other tourist cities around the world.

Hanoi Old Quarter, which contains many valuable historical heritage, culture, arts, and architecture, is ranked third among 95 attractions in Hanoi by TripAdvisor. This is an ideal tourist destination that promises to provide tourists with memorable and interesting experiences.

HANOI IN WINTER

These days, Hanoians feel a coming cold winter, with the average temperature of 17 degree Celsius, but it is not so harsh as Japan, Korea and China. However, the winter temperature in Hanoi is extremely low from January to March, so some places in the north of Vietnam such as Sapa (Lao Cai Province) and Mau Son (Lang Son Province) sometimes appear snow. Hanoi’s winter is charming with cold atmosphere, colorful coats and sometimes warm sunlight which warm you up in chilly day.

Tourists visiting Hanoi can feel the cold weather not like other areas in the world. Because the sky in winter often dark and gloomy, it often brings a sad feeling. In contrast, with Hanoi’s winter, you can see its busiest days, crowed streets during working days. Especially, Hanoi’s winter is also famous for many delicious street foods like hotpot or grilled corn, tourists can favor these warm dishes which bring indescribable feelings.

In addition, spend several days visiting Sapa, Mau Son and Ha Giang to watch very beautiful snowflakes with a wide range of shapes and immerse in mysterious and thick fog.

Remember to bring some warm clothes to sure that you will not get a cold when visiting these places in Vietnam.
