Roam around the chic neighborhoods of Hanoi

This trip, we intended to come in a relaxed style. We roughly planned to walk around the Old Quarter and French Quarter throughout the trip. We focused on walking, not activities. 😂 We went in early June. Luckily, it didn't rain at all. It rained again on the way back. But the weather was quite humid. There were a lot of trees. 🌳 But it was a bit hot. We could walk for a bit and sweat like a waterfall. 🌆 In the morning, we spent time exploring the Old Quarter. We walked around and saw old buildings that combined European style with the people here. It looked charming. It really gave us the feel of an old town. When it was hot, we stopped at a cafe to have a cool drink there before continuing our walk. ~ 🌇 In the afternoon, we walked around the French Quarter, which gave us the feel of a European street. You can walk from the old town. Or you can take a Grab motorcycle. The price here is also cheap. I'm not sure if it's because each place is not far away. But most of the prices we got were no more than 20 baht!! Here, there are various shopping shops, including luxury brands, lined up in blocks next to each other. There are popular restaurants and chic cafes. On Saturdays and Sundays, there will be a road closed for pedestrians only, cars cannot pass through, which is great. It is also close to Hoan Kiem Lake, which is our next destination ~ In the evening, we went to sit and relax by the Hoan Kiem Lake, which is very big. We went at 4 pm, and the weather was still a bit hot, so we walked a bit and stopped to rest, watch birds, watch trees, watch people taking pictures, walk, and ride bicycles. Actually, crossing the street in Hanoi is not as scary as we thought. We felt that they did not drive very fast. If we wanted to cross, we had to step over and they would avoid us. 😂 For those who like to walk, just walk along. I must say that this place should not be missed!! #VisitHanoi #Hanoi #hanoi
