About Hanoi

Hanoi, capitale del Vietnam: templi sul lago, viali coloniali francesi e un Quartiere Vecchio dove cibo di strada e scooter riempiono ogni vicolo.

Le strette strade del Quartiere Vecchio, ciascuna un tempo dedicata a un solo mestiere, si trovano appena a nord del lago Hoan Kiem, dove il Ponte rosso di Huc porta al Tempio della Montagna di Giada. Si passeggia all'alba per vedere il tai chi in riva all'acqua, o dopo il tramonto, quando i marciapiedi si riempiono di bancarelle di cibo e bassi sgabelli di plastica.
