Hanoi - Old Quarters 2

Wondering around the Old Quarters is like going back in time. You can feel the history which is still living and breathing. It feels very different from a place which has been polished and sanitized for the tourists. The French colonial influence is evident in many of the buildings.

There is always a layer of slime on the roads, so you really have to navigate carefully. The Vietnamese motocyclists seem to be experts at it.

Hi Rose. Yes, Vietnam is a really interesting country to visit, especially Hanoi and Halong Bay. If you go, make sure you also visit Hoi An - a World Heritage Site. I did not have a chance to visit during my last trip , but would definitely go back.
