ZAO

The menu is a creative fusion of Vietnamese and Western flavors, with standout dishes like ZAO Steak, tiger prawn noodles, and a unique twist on Caesar salad called ZAO Seasar. Each plate is beautifully presented, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients that highlight both tradition and innovation. Expect a price range of 300,000–400,000 VND per person, reflecting the elevated experience. ZAO – Vietnamese Rooted Eatery, tucked away at số 4 ngõ Huế, Phạm Đình Hổ, Hai Bà Trưng, Hà Nội, is a refined dining space where Vietnamese heritage meets modern culinary artistry. The ambiance is intimate and elegant, with warm lighting, curated decor, and a layout that feels both upscale and welcoming—perfect for date nights, quiet dinners, or special gatherings. Open daily from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM, ZAO offers a tranquil escape from the city’s bustle, with attentive service and a setting that encourages connection—whether with food, friends, or something deeper. If you’d like a Vietnamese version or more restaurants with this kind of soulful elegance, I’ve got a few more tucked away.

Bavi National Park

Nature’s Escape at Ba Vi National Park 🌲☀️⛺ Ready to swap city buzz for pine-scented serenity just outside Hanoi? Ba Vi National Park is your all-in-one getaway—think lush forests, tranquil pine hills, and dreamy campsites that’ll refresh your mind and fuel your inner adventurer. Your trail starts at the main entrance (Vân Hoà, Ba Vì, Hanoi), where you’ll pay a small ticket fee. Head for the Đồi Thông (Pine Hill) area—perfect for laid-back walks, picnics, and forest bathing. Set up camp here for the ultimate “back to nature” experience, waking to chirping birds and soft morning mist. If you’re chasing clouds (“săn mây”), go between late autumn and winter—sunrise is your golden hour to catch Ba Vi’s famous cloud sea rolling through the canopy. Must-dos: - Explore Đồi Thông, take in the other tree-lined trails, and indulge in some forest yoga! - Camping is a must—bring your gear for night skies and fresh morning air (camping sites are well maintained and clean). Top photo spots: - Pine Hill’s sun-dappled clearings - Nature-vision panoramas from higher viewpoints (especially during misty, dreamy mornings) Tips: - Wear light hiking shoes—trails are straightforward but can be slick with dew. - Pack water and snacks; options inside are limited. - Entry fee is reasonable—bring cash for convenience. - Early mornings give you the best light and crowd-free moments. Precautions: Keep an eye out for sudden weather changes and protect your gear from moisture. Summer weekends bring bigger crowds—come midweek for peace. #BaViNationalPark #NatureEscape #HanoiTrips #CampingAdventure #VietnamNature

Thay Pagoda

Hidden Tranquility at Thay Pagoda—A Slice of History in Hanoi 🌸⛩️ Step into an oasis of calm where centuries-old tradition meets serene landscape at Thay Pagoda. Perfect for culture lovers and history buffs, you’ll find classic Chinese architecture framed by sunlit gardens, tranquil ponds, and ancient trees. Itinerary Idea: Start your stroll at Thủy Đình (the charming Water Pavilion), perched gracefully over the lotus pond. Snap a "building close-up" with the pagoda’s elegant wooden details reflected in the water—early morning is ideal for soft sunlight and minimal crowds, making your photos truly insta-worthy. Wander through the main temple complex, taking time to soak in the leafy shade and quiet atmosphere. Admire the handcrafted altars and historic statues before crossing the pretty arched bridge—pause here for a scenic shot with river, flowers, and temple in one frame! Must-do: Watch local devotees make offerings, or join in if you wish—this is a truly authentic experience. If you’re up for it, hike the short path up the hillside for sweeping views over the countryside dotted with lakes and old trees. Visiting Tips: Wear light, respectful clothing and slip-on shoes (you’ll need to remove them inside temple buildings). Bring a hat, as the midday sun is strong. If you want to explore in peace, aim to visit on a weekday morning and avoid festival periods. Key Precautions: Steep stone steps and uneven paths mean sturdy footwear and caution are needed. Stick to marked trails to protect both yourself and the heritage site. #HaNoi #ThayPagoda #CulturalTrip #HiddenGem #SunnyDays
