In the Heart of Hanoi: An Immersive Cultural Experience

I was in Hanoi for multiple days and got to see so much if this beautiful city rich in culture. Attractions - 1. Imperial Citadel of Thang Long Highlights - This is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Hanoi, where we can learn about Vietnam's rich history through its ancient architecture and historic artefacts., The ruins of a royal palace dates back to 11th century. 2. Vietnam Military History Museum Highlights - This museum showcases Vietnam's military past through a diverse collection of artefacts from war time. We can learn about Vietnam's struggle for independence. 3. Old Quarter Highlights - This area is like a maze! It is so vibrant, with narrow streets and old buildings, filled with bustling local shops and street food. Experience rich culture and heritage of Vietnam here. Hotels - I stayed in the Old Quarter area of Hanoi for convenience as food are within walking distance. Food & Restaurants - Many favourite food that I tried including fresh spring rolls, grilled pork, banh mi and chicken pho. Navigate the hidden streets of Old Quarter and you can find many hidden gems. #vietnamtrip #100waysoftravel #hanoi #history #culture
