Hanoi, Vietnam

Hanoi, a city of around 3,5 million people, lies along the west bank of the Red River. Hanoi is one of the oldest capital in Southeast Asia. The city center can be roughly divided into two parts. The administrative, business, and tourist heart of Hanoi is in the neighborhoods stretching from northwest to south in a roughly one-mile radius around Hoan Kiem Lake. Most of the city's major hotels, best restaurants, and good shopping are found here, along with the seat of government and most foreign embassies. With the history of more than 1000 years, Hanoi has a lot of interesting things to see. Besides the hundreds of pagodas and temples in the city, there are more than 35 ancient streets blooming with the same lotus flowers that have existed here for centuries.

In the soul of any Vietnamese citizen, Hanoi has always been a symbol of culture and a source of pride throughout the history.

The temperature in Hanoi in late August is 35^oC maximum during the day and 22° C minimum at night. On average there are 27 days of rainfall in August.

Noi Bai International Airport lies north of Hanoi, about 30 minutes by car from town.
