In “Hanoi – Heart of Vietnam” and “Hanoi – Cradle of Heritage”, Australian travel writer Phoebe Lee visited the city’s most popular icons: the red The Huc Bridge across Hoan Kiem Lake, Saint Joseph's Cathedral, the Temple of Literature, the Perfume Pagoda and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.

She also explored the capital of Vietnam on cyclo, motorbike and enjoyed chit-chat with a street vendor.

“The locals are the most lovely people,” Lee said. (photo: Little Gray Box)

According to the Australian travelholic, Hanoi is an affordable city, a great place to immerse in, and especially impressive dishes. For vegetarian like Lee, local delicious choice are still abundant.

Lee recommended that the best time to visit Hanoi is January.

“The temperatures are perfect. Lovely cool evenings mean you can sit outside at restaurants in the evening and stroll around during the day without breaking a sweat,” she said.

Lee also warned visitors to watch out for traffic, as Hanoi is one of the most cramped cities she has ever been to.

“Hanoi is a buzzing city,” she said in the blog, telling people to be confident to successfully cross the street “Just start walking in a calm, set pace and don’t stop. You’ll be fine.”

The 30-second videos, courtesy of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, are now being aired across Asia-Pacific, South Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America./.
