With a population of four million and a more genteel style than its southern counterpart, Hanoi is the cultural capital of Vietnam and its heart and soul.
Hanoi is located in the Red River Delta, in the center of the north of Vietnam. It is encompassed by Thai Nguyen Province to the north, Vinh Phuc and Ha Tay to the west and the south,
Bac Giang, Bac Ninh and Hung Yen provinces to the east and the south-east.
Hanoi means “the hinterland between the rivers?(Ha: river, Noi: interior).
Hanoi’s territory is washed by the Red River (the portion of the Red River embracing Hanoi is approximately 40km long) and its tributaries,
but there are some other rivers flowing through the capital, including Duong, Cau, Ca Lo, Day, Nhue, Tich, To Lich and Kim Nguu.

Water Puppet Show
Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, a visit here is a real highlight of a trip to Hanoi. Live musicians accompany folk legends from Vietnamese history, told with wooden men, women and dragons, dancing and splashing on the face of the water. Don't worry about getting wet, but the seats are very small, and visitors above-average height will have to squirm a bit. |
Ho Chi Minh Museum
Gleaming white museum with iconography. The main exhibition space is on 3rd flr, includes cars crashing through walls to represent the chaos of American capitalism, soldiers charging around, a cave hideout re- imagined as the inside of Ho Chi Minh's brain, and several other confections integrated with the main story of the man's life and his country's struggle. |
