Ha Noi – The Culture Rich City of Vietnam

Ha Noi, the capital city of Vietnam, is a cultural city at a day time which can grab anyone’s attention. But as Sun sets this city turns into a night crawling heaven for tourists and it’s peoples.

Because of this decision, I selected Hanoi as my starting point and initial stop on my trip to Vietnam. I am happy that I made this choice, as it transformed my apprehension about traveling solo in a foreign land for the first time into enthusiasm for discovering unfamiliar locales.

At first glance, the city in the image may appear crowded and unremarkable. However, once you begin to wander through its narrow alleyways, navigating past motorcycles and stores, you will discover a hidden beauty within. Despite their small size, the vendors and shops exude incredible hospitality when you inquire about their goods and their cultural significance.

If you are a vegetarian like me, adjusting to the strong smell of non-vegetarian food in Vietnam may take some time, primarily because of the open kitchens found in most restaurants and small vendors. However, once you become accustomed to it, you will discover one of Vietnam’s greatest treasures – Vietnamese coffee. I highly recommend trying out all the popular coffee variations such as Egg Coffee, Coconut Coffee, and Salt Coffee. As someone who relies on their morning cup of coffee to start the day off right, experiencing these unique flavors was truly heavenly.
