About Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnams hovedstad, blander templer ved søen, franske koloniale boulevarder og en gammel bydel, hvor gademad og scootere fylder hvert stræde.

Den gamle bydels smalle gader, der hver engang var viet til ét enkelt håndværk, ligger lige nord for Hoan Kiem-søen, hvor den røde Huc-bro fører til Jadebjergets Tempel. Gå en tur i daggryet for at se tai chi ved vandet, eller efter mørkets frembrud, når fortovene fyldes med madboder og lave plastikskamler.
