Hanoi
Although years
of neglect and war have made their mark, much of the city remains
unchanged. Take a cyclo ride around the old quarter with its labyrinth
of small streets with stalls selling everything imaginable. Relax
and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere at one of the many small cafes
that can be found around Hoan Kiem Lake or enjoy a tasty Vietnamese
meal at one of its numerous excellent restaurants or for the more
adventurous a noodle stall.
The faded colonial
architecture and the ancient old quarter, the lakes, parks and tree-lined
boulevards must make Hanoi one of Asia’s most charming cities. In
1883 Hanoi was occupied by the French who made the city the capital
and administrative centre of their Indochina colonies. They then
set about constructing impressive government buildings, offices,
opera houses and palatial villas, which to this day line the long
boulevards of the city.
