As the political capital of the country, Hanoi’s architecture is a curious blend of traditional ‘tube’ houses, French colonial buildings, and modern socialist structures, reflecting the tremendous influences and change that the city has witnessed over 1000 year history. It is a romantic, peaceful city, which many visitors fall in love with, after experiencing the quaint street life up close, which goes on as it has for centuries.
Many visitors call Hanoi the most charming city in the whole of Asia, where tranquil lakes, colorful markets, and proud people go about their lives with dignity and grace, and even despite the massive changes sweeping the country, much of what makes Hanoi special is still there for the visitor to experience.
