Must-Visit Places in Hanoi

Review "Hanoi 8 days, go as far as you can" Go as far as you can, really. Focus on eating, not sightseeing because this is my 4th time here. Mostly walk, if it's over 2 kilometers, we'll call Grab to go and chill. Focus on resting, wake up late, go sightseeing in the afternoon, walk around, focus on taking it slow. If anyone has little time, you can cut the time. And we think that if you're not afraid of getting tired, two nights and three days should be enough. Places to visit in the picture - Ngoc Son Temple - The Huc Bridge - Hoan Kiem Lake - Taplua Tower - Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum - Ba Dinh Square - One Pillar Pagoda - Van Mieu Temple of Literature - Woman Museum - Hoa Ro Prison - Revolution Monument - Tran Quoc Pagoda - Thang Long Palace - St. Joseph's Church - Dong Xuan Market In my opinion, Hanoi is a city of contradictions. I argue with myself every day that Is it really good or bad 🤣 1. The weather is very hot these days. The time I went was the end of May. The more it rains, the hotter it gets, but it's not dry. The sun is scorching hot, hot like a fire. I've been in Vietnam for 26 days and I've used up 3 tubes of sunscreen. 😣😣 2. People here can speak quite a bit of English, but they can't speak much. 3. The only thing I can say about the roads is "chaotic but not complicated". Don't expect cars to stop at red lights, but they'll move aside for you. 4. Vietnamese people like to act dumb. Check carefully that they really understand what you're saying, because they'll nod and say "I always understand, but I'm doing something else" 🤣 5. "There's a lot of trash, but it's nice to live in". There's a lot of trash on the streets in the city, but it's shady and there are a lot of trees, making the city nice to live in. Nature is really important. There are a lot of trees, you can walk all day. Some houses have awnings to hide from the trees, which is really cute. 6. You can exchange money at tour shops and gold shops, but you can't exchange money at banks (you can exchange money at some banks that say Exchange), but you can exchange money at gold shops with the best rate. 7. Almost every shop has a price listed. "Hanoi people" are mostly friendly, cute, "ready to help, kind, but there are a lot of old ladies". Have fun 😅 8. Download Grab, Google Translate is very important. I've been using 2 apps since I got here. 9. Trishaw ride around the city. I could negotiate the highest price per person for 60,000 per hour. Time it. But be careful of being charged when you stop at various places to take pictures. Ask the hotel receptionist to talk it out clearly that it's a flat rate. 10. Be careful of shoe shiners or people who pretend to touch your shoes because you might have to pay $20 for shoe cleaning without realizing it. It's best to wear flip flops. 11. A little cheating, just for fun, is an experience. But if you're going all out, don't give in. Continue bargaining until you reach a price you're satisfied with. If you can't, walk away and find a new shop. They will call us back. P.S.
