Hanoi City

 

Steps outside from the hotel after getting in

Immediately found evening pho

You will see lots of tourists walking around the Old Quarter. It has most of the government buildings that were built in traditional ways and also tons of cafes around and places to eat. 

Socialist Propaganda Street Art

Scooters galore

American Heavy Bomber that was shot down during the Vietnam War

Right in the middle of the city

B-52 Military Museum. It is phrased as the celebration of shooting down B-52 bombers and defending the city of Hanoi

Senator John McCain

Temple of literature

Stone stelae and Ancient Confucian relics 

Green street of Hanoi at night

Intersection from our hotel room 

Suburbs upon leaving the city center

Many construction crews sitting down for a quick and simple yet delicious and complete meals. Beats the American sandwich anyday 

Hoa Lo Prison

The lakes were gross and even had sewage odors. Many of the larger fish were dead and floating also. Yet people are still fishing...

Communist school propaganda 

Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum

Trains go through this street despite how narrow it is. Touristy spot

The cafe scene was very strong in Hanoi. Many locals just working or reading at all kinds of day 

More cafe vibes

Hanoi Big Church - Nhà Thờ Lớn Hà Nội

French Quarter

Government office

People's Committee of Hà Nội City

Working in the streets

Ho Koan Kien Lake

Funny signage

Ngũ Xã

A cool community near the larger of the downtown lakes. This lake was called Ho Tan and it located near and north of the Old Quarter. Seemed a little more upscale than the rest of downtown
