Old Quarter, Captures of Hanoi’s Classical Vibes
#magicalxmastrip
Hanoi’s Old Quarter is like a time machine. The narrow streets, lined with colonial-era buildings, transport you back in time. The constant buzz of motorcycles, the street vendors calling out their wares, and the smells of pho and fresh baguettes made the place feel alive with culture. I loved wandering around Hoan Kiem Lake, watching the locals practicing Tai Chi at dawn. It’s a place where history and modern life collide in such a charming, vibrant way.
Seeing how people living their life here through the window of coffee shop feels kinda comforting for me ☕️

Hanoi - You don't wanna miss this Xmas street🎄
Hang Ma Street in Hanoi’s Old Quarter is now dazzling with vibrant Christmas decorations.
The street is lined with shops selling all kinds of festive items, from colorful Christmas trees to teddy stuff and hanging ornaments. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, with people flocking to soak in the Christmas spirit and snap photos.
It’s truly an unmissable spot for photography enthusiasts.
Getting there:
The convenient way is to take a taxi to Dong Xuan Market, which is just a 3-minute walk from Hang Ma Street. Due to the crowds, reaching Hang Ma Street directly during rush hours can be challenging.

One day trip @ Hanoi.
Start your trip in Hanoi with a morning walk from your accommodation in November when the weather is pleasant and enjoyable, not too hot. Follow the map for about 10 minutes to reach the central lake with the red bridge, the first must-visit check-in spot. Then, walk a bit further to find St. Joseph's Cathedral, which is as beautiful as its reputation suggests. The city is easy to explore on foot, making it a great destination for a short trip. The food is delicious, and there are plenty of coffee shops with good prices. For those with limited time, this is a highly recommended trip. It's only a 2-hour flight from Bangkok.
Hanoi's bustling morning, leisurely afternoon, and romantic night.
In the morning, you can start your day with a variety of unique breakfasts in Hanoi, such as French bread, pho, shrimp noodles, Vietnamese coffee, and many more options. In the afternoon, you can take a stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake or West Lake. In the evening, find a romantic Vietnamese-French restaurant in the Old Quarter for dinner, and near midnight, head to the bar street for a wild party. This truly is a charming city☺️
