Solo trip | Conquer Hanoi Old Quarter in one day 🇻🇳

Southeast Asia is a place where you can take a quick trip during a short holiday.

For those who are rushing around,

Here are 4 spots where you can feel like you've been to Hanoi 🇻🇳

[A staple of Hanoi that you often see in guidebooks]

📍Hanoi Train Street

I guess trains pass through about 5 times a day?

When I went, the timing was bad and I didn't see a train 🥹

If you ask the cafe staff, they will tell you, so you might come back again.

The cafe on the train tracks is full of tourists!

You can get a feel for the atmosphere just by walking on the train tracks 🙆♀️

[Hanoi's oldest temple floating on the lake]

📍Tran Quoc Pagoda

Rather than enjoying the temple itself, it's a spot where you can take a leisurely stroll by the lake.

[Walking around Hanoi's Old Town]

It's lively with cafes, general stores, and souvenir shops lined up.

I think the vendors wearing hats called Non La are very charming.

By the way, they are also sold at souvenir shops.

Even in the rainy season, I am overwhelmed by the number of motorbikes that don't care about the rain🤣

It's also fun to find local spots behind the stalls.

[Hoan Kiem Lake, a place of relaxation in Hanoi]

📍Hoan Kiem Lake

Of course there are tourists, but there are also local people chatting on benches by the lake and doing exercises.

I love taking a walk here at dusk because there is an indescribable gentle atmosphere.

[Gothic architecture built under French rule]

📍Hanoi Cathedral

You can see different faces during the day and at night.

The lighting is very beautiful🤩

It is also the center of the old town, and it is a perfect spot for meeting up.
