Hanoi is a city where tradition and modernity weave seamlessly together. From the serene beauty of Hoan Kiem Lake to the buzz of motorbikes streaming through the Old Quarter, Vietnam’s capital is alive with energy, history, and charm. Ancient temples sit beside French colonial architecture, while bustling street markets offer flavors and experiences you’ll never forget.

Mark Ferdinand takes you on a journey through Hanoi’s rich tapestry: the aroma of steaming pho at dawn, the artistry of water puppet theatre, the elegance of tree-lined boulevards, and the timeless rituals of everyday life. Whether you’re exploring vibrant street food stalls, delving into the city’s complex history, or simply savoring a cup of strong Vietnamese coffee, Hanoi will surprise, enchant, and stay with you forever.
