About Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnams Hauptstadt, vereint Seetempel, französische Kolonialboulevards und eine Altstadt, in der Streetfood und Roller jede Gasse füllen.

Die engen Gassen der Altstadt, von denen sich einst jede einem einzigen Gewerbe widmete, liegen gleich nördlich des Hoan-Kiem-Sees, wo die rote Huc-Brücke zum Tempel des Jadeberges führt. Man bummelt im Morgengrauen, um Tai-Chi am Wasser zu sehen, oder nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit, wenn sich die Bürgersteige mit Essensständen und niedrigen Plastikhockern füllen.
