Hanoi from my view

I've been living in Ha Noi for 7 years and many times ago I was asked "How does HaNoi look like? Do you like it?" I often said that "It's always busy but also quite beautiful". Indeed, I think my answer is too general and event I can not figure out what it is. So I decided spent this Saturday afternoon to take a tour and tried to capture some vivid picture and post here for you. Actually, the following picture is so close and quite familiar to me coz I often ride on this street on weekend. Are you ready. OK. Let's go.

My flat is not in downtown but I love it because it very near to West Lake - one of the biggest lake in the city. I feel very peaceful and fresh every morning I go to work and every time I come back home. Here it is.

One more
After about 10 minutes riding I got to center of city and began my tour by walking. Here I was standing right under LongBien railway station. My family often catch this train each time we come back our homeland.

Right beside of the station is Dong Xuan market - a pretty popular and busy trading place. Here you can take a special bus, City Tour, for traveling around main street.


You can find many things here such as handy crafts like these:

I was waking on Hang Dao street where you can enjoy night market every weekend evening.


After traveling some street I reached to my favorite place - Dinh Le street , a book street - where I often find and buy some interesting book every month. Today I bought a book with title " The sorrow of war" by Bao Ninh. I think that was enough today and it was time to come back home
