Itinerary
This experience lets you learn both Chinese characters, which formed the basis of Vietnamese writing for centuries, and the modern Quoc Ngu script that became dominant under French colonial rule. You can see how calligraphy evolved from a practice of scholars and noblemen while retaining the essence of the art, as different characters gracefully harmonize to change the meaning of a word.

About Hanoi
Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, mixes lakeside temples, French colonial boulevards and an Old Quarter where street food and scooters fill every lane.
The Old Quarter's narrow streets, each once devoted to a single trade, sit just north of Hoan Kiem Lake, where the red Huc Bridge leads to the Temple of the Jade Mountain. Wander at dawn to see tai chi by the water, or after dark when the pavements fill with food stalls and low plastic stools.
Top-ranked sights in Hanoi: Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien).
