Impressions of Hanoi

Taking advantage of the 8-day National Day holiday in 2023, my friend and I planned to enter Vietnam from Hekou, Yunnan, and take a sleeper bus directly to Laojie from the Laojie port of entry for 4 hours. The day we arrived was our National Day, and many Vietnamese people were also gathered around Hoan Kiem Lake for activities, which was very lively. 🌟Highlights: In the old town area around the lake, you can see them sitting on small chairs and tables, ordering some cold drinks or some food to gather together. The main feature is that those stools are very small, and it's very lively. 🍽Food Recommendations: When you're in Hanoi, you must try a bowl of beef noodles, which is especially delicious. Also recommended are grilled meat vermicelli, fried spring rolls, and egg coffee. 👍Most Recommended: The places to visit are all concentrated around the old town area, including Hoan Kiem Lake, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Thang Long Temple... This impression, perhaps because of the holiday, made me feel that Hanoi's population is very large, the motorcycle army is particularly spectacular, and Hanoi's air pollution is still quite serious, with smog during this period. However, this city still has its connotations, and it is recommended to visit for two days.
