Hanoi Tour Information

Imagine a city where the exotic chic of old Asia blends with the dynamic face of new Asia. Where the medieval and modern co-exist. A city with a blend of Parisian grace and Asian pace, an architectural museum piece evolving in harmony with its history, rather than bulldozing through like many of the region’s capitals. Hanoi is where imagination becomes reality. A memorial stop for any Vietnam Holiday.

Hanoi is like a lady with colonical hat walking towards you from the past, with a reserved but truly genuine smile. During the Hanoi tours, you will find that the city's beauty is also quite modern, despite of the fewer skyscrapers towering overhead and less traffic clogging the streets. Hanoi is less cosmopolitan than Ho Chi Minh City, much kinder and gentler than any other cities you experienece in your Vietnam tours.

There are so many interesting attractions for your Vietnam holiday in Hanoi. Ba Dinh Square is the beating heart of Hanoi as it is the place where you can see Vietnamese of all ages come to pay their respects to Ho Chi Minh in the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Complex: Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, Ho Chi Minh's Stilt House & Presidential Palace and Ho Chi Minh Museum are all for history buffs who would like to earn some extra credits in their Vietnam tours. In front of the museum stands the famous One Pillar Pagoda, which is designed to resemble a lotus blossom, the symbol of purity. Relaxing peacefully from the noisy streets of Hanoi, Temple of Literature is highly rated for any Vietnam tours for its perfect preservation of traditional Vietnamese architecture. Just need an easy stroll? Hoan Kiem Lake and West Lake are where to go.

Every attraction in Hanoi seems to have its own story, some with different versions. Even the city itself has been named several times, one of which was Thanh Long literally meaning soaring dragon. After your Vietnam holiday, there will be no doubt that this dragon is on the up once more.
