Hanoi


As a capital city, Hanoi is quite different compared to Saigon. Unfortunately the facilities in this city is not as good as its sister city, but in some place they still have a good promenade for people walk or just pass by. Although Hanoi's weather is quite warm, they provides blooming vegetation on the promenade and make the area more comfortable, like in Hoan Kiem Lake.
