Hà Nội

Hanoi (Ha Noi) is the capital of Vietnam. After reorganization of administrative boundaries in 2008, when the entire province Hà Tây and parts of other provinces Hanoi were included, the city has 6,448,837 inhabitants. It is a communist-influenced city with lots of old buildings, old temples, parks and liveliness. The city gis a contrast to Saigon and forms a counterpoint to its southern counterpart, the economically emerging Ho Chi Minh City. Who expects special attractions of classical type is probably frustrated. The special charm of Hanoi, however, lies in its townscape. It is more chaotic and unstructured than elsewhere. There are also many small streets that make up the charm. Each lane has its own professional group, so there is the alley of the basket weavers, smiths, rope makers and so on. Although the old town is rather touristy, you can still find the old Vietnam. The city is largely untouched and a rising star in Southeast Asia.

B-52 Lake — Until December 19, 1972, this was just a small brackish pond just off Hoang Hoa Tam Street, about 1km west of mausoleum. On that day, in a twisted retelling of Hoan Kiem legend see above, Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns possibly with help of flying turtretook enemy's eight-engined, 100-ton sword and sent it too, to shallow bottom of lake, where it remains today (Map).
