The charming Vietnamese capital has aged
well, preserving the Old Quarter, monuments and colonial architecture, while
making room for modern developments alongside. Hanoi may have shrugged off
several former names, including Thang Long, or "ascending dragon," but it
hasn't forgotten its past, as sites such as Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and Hoa
Lo Prison attest. Lakes, parks, shady boulevards and more than 600 temples
and pagodas add to the appeal of this city, which is easily explored by
taxi. |
