Dong Xuan market
Dong Xuan Market has long been a tourist attraction in Hanoi, thanks to its prime location in the heart of this city as well as the impressive architecture and history. Coming to Dong Xuan Market, you can find a wide range of commodities from fabric, clothing, local handicrafts, souvenirs and street foods. Read on to explore all the specific things about Dong Xuan Market. I will also take you to unseen angles to learn more about history & local architecture.
Long Bien bridge
The Long Bien bridge across the Red River connects Hanoi with the main port of Haiphong. Designed by Gustave Eiffel, the bridge sustained significant damage during the Vietnam War. Only half of the bridge retains its original shape, but a rebuilding project supported by the French government is currently in progress to restore the bridge to its original appearance.

“Amazing Hanoi Experience with Rose”
We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Hanoi with Rose, and I cannot recommend her enough. Her English is excellent, and her energy is infectious—she kept us engaged and excited from start to finish. Why you should book with Rose: • Expert Knowledge: Rose really knows her history. We loved soaking in the stories and cultural context she provided at every stop. • Logistical Pro: Her organizational skills are top-notch. She knows all the "secret" ways to cut through waiting times, making the day feel seamless. • The Food: The street food she picked was delicious! The Bun Cha was the absolute highlight, followed closely by the savory pancakes wrapped in rice paper. • Unique Experiences: Visiting the train track was a fascinating and memorable highlight of the trip. Special shout-out to her driver, Mr. Happy, who truly lived up to his name. He has an uncanny ability to navigate the busy Hanoi streets and somehow always appeared exactly where we were for a perfectly timed pickup. If you want a stress-free, deep dive into Hanoi’s culture and cuisine, book Rose!

Ninh Binh day trip: Tuyet Tinh Coc - Tam Coc & dancing cave
Ninh Binh, is one of Vietnam's most striking destinations. Breathtaking boat rides and lush countryside are just half of the appeal: the area is also rich in cultural treasures and is listed as a UNESCO Heritage Site. My tour will take you to "secret" places for spectacular view and peaceful countryside area of Ninh Binh.
