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.

“Two days in Hanoi and Ninh Binh”
Rose has been excellent from the outset helping us with our arrangements and tickets for the Water Puppet show before we’d even set off for our trip. Always attentive to our needs, Rose has an infectious energy and enthusiasm for guiding. We asked to adjust our plans through the 2 days and Rose kindly did so in real time. Thank you Rose.

“Wonderful experience with a phenomenal guide.”
During our short visit to Hanoi, we spent a day with Rose touring the sights, learning the history, and eating some amazing food. After she met us at our hotel, we started at the Hanoi Hilton. Rose shared her extensive knowledge of its history and provided great insight. She then took us to Train Street where we got trackside seats at a cafe. Before the train arrived, she toured us around some small alleys in the area and we saw some local homes. Then back to the cafe for the exhilarating experience of having the train pass us by approximately one foot away from our front row seats. After seeing the train, she took us for lunch. First we tried Bun Cha (Obama noodles) down a little alley that we never would have found by ourselves. They were so good. Next, Rose brought us for delicious Banh Mi sandwiches. It was the best one I have had in Vietnam to date. She offered to take us for grilled fish next, but we had already eaten our fill. So although it sounded good, we passed. Our next stop was to try egg coffee. I wasn't expecting to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised and found it delightful. After lunch, we ended our day at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum where, once again, Rose's knowledge of the history was truly appreciated. Rose then brought us back to our hotel where we parted ways after a spectacular tour. Overall, it was an enlightening day and Rose was a wonderful guide. Her excellent command of English combined with her warmth and personality created a lasting impression. We made some great memoried and we highly recommend taking a tour with Rose. You won't regret it!
