Dating to thousand year ago, Hanoi is one of the most ancient capitals in Asia. That means, it's a mix of the old and the new city defined by the contradictions of a rapidly developing yet deeply traditional society. Here, glimmering office buildings sit alongside the French colonial Old Quarter. Rarely at rest, the kinetic energy of Hanoi's motorbike-packed streets spills over into the outdoor markets, Hang Gai silk shops, Cau Go street, Hang Be, Hang Hanh street... curbside bún chả /bánh mì , grilled food vendor shop, and eclectic nightlife scene.
You can start your walk on the streets of Old Town, visiting markets and street vendors, and then take in some local history and mythology with a stroll around Hoàn Kiếm Lake.

This temple was built in the 18th century to honor Tran Hung Dao King, a military commander who famously repelled two Mongol invasions.
