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 tour guide ”
Rose took us on a tour of Hanoi. She is fabulous. She is warm and friendly, her English is excellent and her storytelling as well. She is full of knowledge and knows much about the history of this country. She took us efficiently to all the sites, as well as on a food tour . All in all our experience with her was fantastic. I highly recommend her as your tour guide if you are visiting the city.

(12 reviews)Dear Brynie, Thank you so much for such wonderful review. This really made my day. It was my great honor to be your guide and show you an amazing Hanoi through sightseeings, hidden gems and best street food tastings. I am so glad that you had a beautiful time in HaLong Bay. I wish you all the best wishes and lots of love from Hanoi, Rose Nhung
“Bike / food tour review ”
When I first arrived in Hanoi, my preferred mode of transportation would be walk or use a Grab car to go from point A to B. When I started the tour, it was a bit rocky for me to keep my balance, as I wasn't very familiar with motorbikes. However, I had nothing to worry about, as Nhung was a safe driver.If anything, the motorbike tours have not only improved my confidence but also enhanced my overall mindset and experience in Vietnam. Now, I can't get enough of using a Grab bike instead of a car. During the food tour with Nhung, I found one of the best banh mi in Hanoi, which I hadn't found anywhere else during my travels in Vietnam.
