How can you come to Vietnam without visiting Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam?When I first went to Vietnam, I took advantage of my vacation to go to Hanoi with my colleagues.
The following is a 2-day guide to Hanoi, I hope it will be useful to you.
day 1
Our first stop was the famous Ba Ting Square, an open square that resembles Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
The portrait of President Ho Chi Minh is hanging in Ba Dinh Square, and the two sides are written in Vietnamese script: "Long live Vietnam, long live, long live, Ho Chi Minh will always be in my heart".
This shows the respect and admiration of the Vietnamese people for the President.
Due to the unfortunate time of the visit, we could no longer pay homage to the mausoleum of President Ho Chi Minh, only a blue cloth hung on it, and we did not see it.
Behind Ba Dinh Square, we came to the Vietnam Museum. This museum is also small but exquisite.
It introduces the history of the Vietnamese people who were invaded by the French colonizers, and during the 80-year colonization process from 1884, the poems calling for peace from all walks of life in Vietnam are vividly vivid.
There are these two sentences that are impressive:
Although the people of the world come from different races, there are only two kinds of people: the aggressor and the invaded. There is only one true fraternity: the fraternity of the proletariat. “
Our people cherish peace, and our ** desire to bring peace and happiness to the people. We are also willing to cooperate with the French people for the sake of our common interests. ”
Surprisingly, there are also modern art exhibitions, avant-garde trends.
We walked a few steps from the museum to the Temple of the One Pillar.
The pavilion of the Reinuma Pond** rests on a large pillar suspended in mid-air, and is a unique building.
At noon, we went to the local rice noodle shop, and my colleague told us that the Vietnamese noodles in Hanoi were better than the Vietnamese noodles in Hanoi.
It looks like a very inconspicuous small shop, but it has been crowded and exhausted.
Obama actually came to eat this noodle shop.
We ordered pork rice noodles, drizzled with soup oil, a large piece of pork, served with lettuce leaves and shiso leaves, and it tasted delicious mixed by ourselves.
There is also Starbucks in Vietnam, but coffee is abundant in the region.
When Vietnamese people drink their own good-quality, ** beautiful coffee, they can't help but dislike drinking star dad is an IQ tax. Ha ha.
We came to Vietnam's No. 1 legendary coffee. The coffee ordered by my colleague was super refreshing to drink iced coffee in summer.
The coffee shop also sells a variety of beans, and there is also a three-in-one coffee, so you can buy some to drink at home after drinking coffee.
After a short break in the coffee shop, we came to the National Gallery of Vietnam in Hanoi.
The ticket is only 3w VND, which is equivalent to 8 yuan. The museum was established in 1966 and is one of the most cost-effective attractions on this trip.
The exhibition hall has three floors, with paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and folk art works, and the cultural atmosphere of Vietnam is unobstructed here.
Many of the carvings and Buddha statues in Vietnam are similar to those in China.
Some of the philosophical small paintings are quite interesting. In the painter's brush, the woman is dressed in Ao Dai, elegant and dignified, depicting the image of a gentle woman in Vietnam.
Coming out of the art gallery, we went to Hoan Kiem Lake, which is the iconic center of Hanoi.
Surrounded by protected areas from cars and motorcycles, it is a haven for children and a lively spot in Hanoi.
The sculpture at the door, "Writing the Blue Sky", is quite distinctive, only to see a straight into the sky, ready to splash ink in the sky.
Along the corridor, we came to the memorial hall in the center of the lake, where there are two thousand-year-old turtle fossils, directly according to his body is majestic, shiny, and very well preserved.
I was very surprised that the buildings on Hoan Kiem Lake were written in Chinese, and I found that China invaded this place during the Ming Dynasty, and later the Vietnamese Li Dynasty Taizu recaptured his own territory through the Blue Mountain Uprising.
After the battle, the turtle said that the battle was over and asked for the sword to be returned to him, so the lake was renamed from Green Water Lake to Huanjian Lake.
The place I wanted to visit the most was Hanoi Cathedral, which is said to be modeled after the Cathedral of Paris. The church is up to 232 meters, looking up there are numerous arches, flower decorations, crosses, etc., which add to the sense of solemnity.
The chant sounded, and although the lyrics could not be understood, the pious singing still made people feel happy and enjoyed. At night, the church is lit up to become even more beautiful.
day 2
The least thing you need to do is see the local culture, and the ancient street is the place where the fireworks are the highest. When we two girls came to Thirty-sixth Street, we were attracted by the dazzling array of goods and stopped to play for most of the day.
Walking on 36th Street, the buildings next to it are colorful, the floors are high, the streets are narrow, and motorcycles are rampant, which is strange and lively.
There are many French, Korean, and Chinese in Vietnam, and they see the signboard in front of the store saying greetings from several countries.
If there is one habit to represent Vietnam, it is to wear slippers. Lo and behold, these slippers come in all kinds of colors and colors.
We went into a clothing store, the proprietress was kind and welcoming, and she didn't give us a good face because we bargained, and still served us with a smile. Silk scarves, bags, etc. are good and cheap.
The roadside clothing store is about 20 to 80 yuan, and the quality is not bad, and it is very friendly to passers-by.
At noon we went for a snack, corn rice. Many foreigners crowded into this long and narrow aisle to eat, and business was very good.
*Affordable. The corn sticky rice you ordered for the two of them beef, chicken, cucumber and soft drinks, cost a total of 13w VND, 20 yuan per person.
When you come to Hanoi, you must try the ** stick, and the two of them eat one very full and full. The bread on the outside is crispy, and the vegetables and meat on the inside are plentiful, and it is especially delicious when it is full.
We made our last stop in Hanoi to the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre.
You say he's a shadow puppet, but its characters are three-dimensional. You say he's a puppet show, but its characters swim in real water. So this show is quite special.
The agility of the water and the roundness of the characters add to the vividness of the puppet show.
The little puppet tells the history, humanities, and folk traditions of Vietnam, such as the farmer's work in the fields, the children playing in the water, and the customs of marriage.
The Jing solo string is compatible with the melodious sound of the flute and the agility of the music box, which is a wonderful enjoyment for the ears.
During this trip to Hanoi, the deepest feeling is that coffee is everywhere and powder shops come everywhere. Motorcycle culture gives the city a casual and convenient pace.
At 10 p.m., the lights come on, and the slow life of Vietnam begins.
If you could describe it in three words, it would be "slow-paced".
Final summary: The citywalk is only about 1 kilometer in radius, and the tourist location is compact.
Therefore, this trip is effortless and effortless, and it is easy to get the itinerary with a map. I hope you find this guide helpful.
