Spared the sticky heat of Saigon, Hanoi's three and a half million residents enjoy a city liberally sprinkled with lakes, parks, coffee shops, and a surprisingly cosmopolitan range of bars and restaurants. The jewel in this laid back capital's crown must surely be The Old Quarter. Centered around pristine Hoan Kiem Lake, it's a labyrinth of narrow streets and alleys, each one dedicated to a particular merchandise, be it salt, bamboo, weighing scales or even funeral coffins! It's a delight to wander a neighborhood thankfully spared any bombing during the Vietnam war and still retaining a whiff of French colonialism, evident in its shuttered villas and an imposing Catholic cathedral which dwarfs the area's many smaller shrines and pagodas. |
