Hanoi is the capital of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam, Viet Nam and political, economic, transportation, and cultural center.

It is the largest in northern Viet Nam cities with a population of 3 million, ranked second only to Ho Chi Minh City. Area has more than 2000 square kilometers, Ho Chi Minh City. Viet Nam is the closest large city, Guangxi Province, China.

In the morning to Hanoi from Hai Phong, Ho Chi Minh to catch him and body lying in State (only morning open), the car very fast, but just an error in the busy, the tires burst in the Midway, fortunately not far away there is a bike shop, delayed for half an hour, take this opportunity to get off to the side of the village shop shop to buy water, very warm, but the owner will not be only Chinese, even on paper than with painting of said price followed by the family home, old, and glanced out the clutter is not much compared to the courtyard, Apple-Pie order, a fruitful banana trees stretching a huge leaves become a vehicle in the event of phase in the North have had a goal, from time to time on the road with riding a motorcycle, bicycle, wear long-sleeved pants of Viet Nam were after, we help them in the eyes of the "foreigner" or attracted some curious people of Viet Nam.

The Hanoi, is nearly ten o'clock, the car directly to the BART station Plaza near the vehicle in accordance with requirements of wearing shorts will not be able to join us in the Ho Chi Minh's body lying in State at, because you cannot take pictures, tour Xiaohua neck hung with our various cameras, like a camera dealers-like command with some good teams want to laugh at him funny look at the surrounding expressions of Viet Nam, he immediately and takes them to a sample up face, longtime wait ...

About spent nearly an hour before queuing system, into the inside, it took almost 10 minutes at the end, when it stood at the bus station square take photographs, Pavilion Plaza is a major political meetings held in Viet Nam and large-scale activities.

Status equivalent to the Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China. The West is the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, Northwest is the home of Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh Museum, Southwest has. The left is the President's House. Bus station there are buses Pavilion, Plaza East, was held in the halls of major meetings of Viet Nam. Buses Pavilion Hall South Viet Nam Ministry authorities, and then to the South is the foreign embassy district. The entire PA booth Plaza's architectural pattern is quite similar to Tiananmen Square, and even architectural style is very much alike (in addition to the architectural legacy of the colonial period), just a lot of small scale, the deputation are Opera says this is microfilm landscape of Tiananmen Square.

Out of the square, we visit the Presidential Palace, former residence of Ho Chi Minh, the Green and the environment here is very good, I like most in Viet Nam see Tropical scenery, especially the Ho Chi Minh President prior to the cleansing of diaojiaolou road, Ho Chi Minh personally planted mango tree, youzi forest, it is said that the then Zhou Enlai's visit to Vietnam, it is in this small road and Ho Chi Minh President discuss the world situation, and now have two great protagonists, only the large stand beside the mango tree also recorded this historic trail.

Then visit the residence of the single-column Temple behind, this is because a Viet Nam Wang di dream built Temple has a lot of character, in a man-made Lake Central with a wooden lift a temple, like a Lotus-like floating in the water, the temple worship is said to be similar to the US role in charge of the goddess with children, and sure enough it seems this temple, incense was very popular, or walk in a pair of young men and women, worship, devotion to and.

Subsequently also visited Kiem, West Lake, in China through large and small lake, and then look at the Lake, it too has a guide jeers, also said that the West and China, Viet Nam's West Lake and sisters, take over, we laughed loudly protested: do little brother we do!

Afternoon, visit the temple, a temple is a symbol of the culture of Viet Nam, Viet Nam will to the emperors, the pilgrimage is outside the country of China's largest temple and the Han culture institutions. Temple also hung a Qing dynasty Kangxi Emperor bestowed to the "horizontal" all ages ", in the city, all of the text are Chinese, there are also used in the Temple of the Chinese seal carving Viet Nam Imperial scholars name of Tablet, unfortunately Viet Nam to erase and the relationship between China, the tablet can reflect on Viet Nam is a subsidiary of text all chisel chisel flat, watching those people to destroy traces of much heartache, Rotary Tablet sigh, find a Chinese proverb puts it better: long!

Remaining time to the Embassy of the people's Republic of China in Viet Nam, although at a closed door, but let us have a kind of familiarity, then the tour will we have a car, also a sword Lake, Kiem around 36 old streets, various goods are classified in different neighborhoods for sale.

For example, a "Silver's Street" and "wood business street," "oil business street," and "shoes ' street" and "paper Street" and "Mo ' street", and so on. But now sell and street name is a bit of a misnomer, storefront are very small, very worn, and companions at walked like a bunch of work in a fancy paper lanterns, sell Lady Chinese is not good, smile, I can communicate in English, has been a long time do not speak English, I had to use less fluent in English to her Kan starting price, together with a partner like discovered the new world, pull up I ran to just pass by a perfume shop, picked up just asked price of poison, chanel, allow me to serve as a translation, and the shopkeeper theory.

Hanoi in my impression, is a young city, as hordes, streets full of motorcycles, Korean and Japan car coming and going, Posada Carriles, colorful people, equality through in every corner of the city; but at the same time it is an ancient city, as throughout the entire city of high-rises are yellow, and white with a legacy France building style, or which is also scattered with ancient Chinese temple.

In my eyes, it is a mixture of different countries, different nationalities and different angle of the city, just a reverent homage to finish construction of China's first human implant of temples and old trees, a head, but saw streets with similar early Chinese propaganda Billboard, peasants and soldiers; TV, one side is sown with Viet Nam dialect Zhou Xun, is the original edition of BBC and CNN ... Quiet and noisy, calm and impetuous, vanity and simplicity, in theJust opened in the city blends ...

I think, Hanoi maybe not you imagine in a foreign city, but will have its unique personality attracts you!
