Visiting Hanoi is to steep yourself in history, tradition, and legend in a capital that has been inhabited continuously for almost a millennium. Visitors often note that the city is quieter, greener, and "cooler" than other big cities of Vietnam. Hanoi’s present architecture is mainly from the 19th and 20th centuries, and the French-built section of the town is largely intact. Yet, the city preserves many old religious temples and shrines dedicated to the nations heroes or deities, who supported the farmers to cultivate and protect the fertile land on the Red River right bank and gather the first commercial guilds to form what later became an exciting urban town. Hanoi street life now is fascinating. In the early morning, you can see people both young and old practicing "tai chi quan" or martial arts in the parks and joggers along pretty lakes. Outdoor barbers with mirrors simply hung on the street walls and women selling great French baguettes and flowers are also at every street corner. If you go for a walk, the motorbikes and cyclos may make you wonder a bit which directions they move on, but as soon as you get a chance to try one of them, you could say they are not so risky like they seem to be, as the local drivers have extremely special skills to avoid one another (!). Thus a deliberate Cyclo tour for one or two hours is so far the best way to visit the Old Quarter. 08:00 A.M, departure for a full day city tour of Vietnam's capital Hanoi - a unique Asian city with tree-lined boulevards, French colonial architecture, peaceful lakes and oriental temples.
