    A very interesting puppet show, a water puppet show. After watching it, I looked up the background information and learned that the actors are submerged in water throughout the entire performance, remotely controlling the puppets using their arm strength—they're all incredibly strong! It's a unique Vietnamese performance; you should definitely see it if you have the chance. I also discovered that tickets in Hanoi are more than half the price of those in Saigon.

    This is an amazing spot in Hanoi, very calming and relaxing. It is surrounded by skyscrapers and bustling streets, great for walking around and enjoying the fresh air. At night, it becomes alive with colorful lights and music. A must-see destination in the old quarter. Especially good for taking pictures.

    The experience here is a mix of discovery, and exploration, and a lot of distractions. These 36 streets are perhaps the most well-known part of Hanoi, and have tons of shops and street vendors, selling everything from street drinks and foods, souvenirs, clothing, accommodation, spa services like massages, manicures and pedicures, hair salons, cafes and many others. They are alive almost 24/7 and are at the heart of the city.

    This is a really nice spot! Not far from Hanoi Train Station, there are many restaurants and bars on both sides of this section of the railway. About ten trains pass by every day! First of all, I definitely recommend going at night for the best view; the neon lights along the entire street are stunning! Secondly, when you go there, you'll see tables and chairs placed on both sides of the railway. You have to buy a beer to sit and wait for the train to pass. However, when the train passes, only the tables and chairs on the shop side remain seated. Those on the other side must leave their seats and pack up their tables. So, remember to choose a seat on the bar side for the best view!

    It’s worth the price! You should get the one with a free drink. The best time to go there is from 5pm till evening.

    Located not far from Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi Cathedral is a truly impressive cathedral! I arrived in the evening, so I didn't get to explore it properly. I just looked at the exterior. There's a small garden at the entrance with a statue of the Virgin Mary. The surrounding streets are all unique and well worth a stroll.

    Staying at InterContinental Hanoi West Lake, it is right next to Hanoi West Lake, and it is very convenient to go to the Old Quarter. The front desk service is also very good, thumbs up. Hanoi West Lake is different from West Lake, there are no mountains, but it is still good.

    Ly Thai To Park is a park with statues and a small square around Hoan Kiem Lake, so it would be nice to stop by and see it. There is currently a festival going on.
