Vietnam | The green years by the Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi

After the sleeping bus in Luang Prabang, Laos, and two days of rain in Hanoi, the sky finally cleared on the day of departure. Although it was cloudy, I walked around Hoan Kiem Lake, where many Vietnamese young men and women came to take photos in traditional costumes. I was in a hurry in Hanoi, actually I didn't stay enough, but seeing the weather forecast of a sharp drop in temperature and rain, I quickly booked a ticket to Hoi An Ancient Town with a history of more than 1500 years, which is an hour's drive from Da Nang and is known as the Lijiang and Dali of Vietnam. If you just want to visit Hanoi, one day is enough. 📆【Travel Guide】 📆Itinerary: 1⃣Jingdong Yishu Square 2⃣Hoan Kiem Lake 3⃣Hanoi Cathedral 4⃣Train Street 5⃣Thang Long Imperial Citadel 6⃣Ba Dinh Square, One Pillar Pagoda, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum 7⃣Guozhen Ancient Temple 8⃣North Gate Parish Church 9⃣Tongchun Market 🚗Transportation Guide: 1⃣Recommended to walk, because it's enough for half a day or a full day. 2⃣You can also take a sightseeing bus at the intersection of Hoan Kiem Lake. 🌟Highlights: You can appreciate many characteristic buildings left by Chinese people in the past, temples, Taoist temples, and many Western churches. 💰Average consumption: There is no admission fee for the whole journey. If you walk all the way, there is no consumption except for food and drink. The Vietnamese noodles in the roadside shops are very delicious, and you can eat them at every meal without repeating. 📌Small Tips: The ultraviolet rays here are quite strong, so do a good job of sun protection. The roadside stall coffee and melon seeds are very characteristic, and the Vietnamese noodles are delicious.
