Hanoi
Convergence of Red River Delta Culture & History
A thousand-year-old city
Hanoi is the convergence point of politics, economics, and culture of Vietnam. If you want to take a deep insight into the original life of Hanoians, let’s come to the Old Quarter with 36 streets. This area is considered a trace of the bustling market surrounding the Imperial Citadel in the past. Today, many streets no longer sell goods, but you can still see remnants of their names, which were based on the items they used to sell, such as Hàng Lược (Comb Street), Hàng Chiếu (Mat Street), Hàng Bạc (Silver Street),… Recognized as a thousand-year-old city, the presence of history not only lies in the streets, but is in the old buildings, embracing legends such as the Turtle Tower at Hoan Kiem Lake, or reflection of the French colonial period with Indochine style architecture.
To take a deep insight into the lifestyle of Hanoians, take the time to stroll around on foot, creating a favorable condition for you to venture into the hidden alleys of Hanoi, where there are small houses and coffee shops & eateries known only to locals. If you want to expand the authentic flavors of Hanoi, which is the subtle convergence of the entire Red River delta, don’t hesitate to get into the kitchen with Hanoi women and learn to cook delicious and rustic dishes with them.
Especially, don’t miss out on a chance to admire the skill and talent of Hanoi people in the craft villages just about 20-30 minutes drive from the city center. Surrounding this city are about 1350 ancient craft villages, which have long been places for producing utensils for the court, and until now, continue to produce exquisite handicrafts to supply Hanoi and the whole country, even for export. Venturing into the small village paths, we will connect you with genuine and skilled craftsmen, who are still diligently preserving and passing on the ancestral crafts.
