Tips For Tourists In Hanoi
Posted by Duy Duy on Friday, August 24, 2012
Hanoi is, of course, one of the most popular traveling destination people choose on their trips to Vietnam. This city has one of the biggest rivers in South East Asia, the Hong river. Recently nominated as one of a few thousand years old capital cities, Hanoi holds many traditional heritages that would amaze you.
I believe that for first time travelers, they’d be easily lost among many beautiful places to visit when they come to Hanoi. That’s why I will share with you my list of worthwhile visiting places.
The restaurant and hotel chains
If you come to Hanoi and want to visit some traditional Vietnam restaurants there, you can tell any taxi driver to drive you there. Or if you wish to explore the streets yourself, you can learn some Vietnamese such as how to pronounce “quan an ngon Ha noi” or “nha hang noi tieng Ha noi” and many people will show you the way. Once you get there, get ready to be surprised with tons of delicious foods and menus there.
There are so many unusual foods that you might haven’t tasted before. I can name you some of them: fried scorpions, satay frog... Want to taste the world famous noodle - “Pho”? It’s not a problem because we have many places serving that food in Hanoi. Personally, I was once amazed at the way one of the biggest hotels and restaurants in Hanoi decorate their rooms. It’s the mystique asian decorative home accents. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to have some good dishes.
Have you visited the Old Quarter yet?
Visiting the Old Quarter is definitely one of the most exciting experience to foreign visitors. With 36 old streets running across each other, you will find it really feels like you’re traveling through a maze. The streets are well known because of their traditional handicraft products long time ago. It’s a really great place to buy some mementos to your loved ones.
Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
This place is the place where ‘Uncle Ho’ - the great father of Vietnam - lying. His body has been placed and protected by guards here for a long time. And to people in Vietnam, it’s a great honor to have the permission to come and see him. If you want to take a visit to meet Uncle Ho, you better act like other Vietnamese. Be polite and show the respect.
Whatever you do on your Vietnam trip, Hanoi will definitely be one of the most memorable places that you visit.
