Hanoi daytime is hustle and bustle! Sometimes I was swept away by the business of the city, and I properly do not have enough time to stop and watch the ancient beauty of 36 streets, of Thang Long thousand years of civilization again. So I have to wait until night when there is no congestion, stuffy inside to see clearly the beauty of ancient Hanoi.

You can go anywhere you like, go through the familiar streets of Hanoi to find a quiet night. Then visit Restored Sword Lake (Hoan Kiem Lake) and stroll around Old Quarters in Hanoi to enjoy street foods or on cup of egg coffee.

Some notices are needed to know when getting around Hanoi at night.

Walking around at night is extremely interesting because it seems that the road is yours, the city is yours and everything is yours. But there are many things you should pay attention:

– The most convenient means of transportation is motorcycles, but you should remember to refuel gas because it is often difficult to find gas station at night. Or it is more convenient for you to have your own bike.

– Should not go alone, at night you may have some troubles for example theft, robbery, and drug. You should avoid dark or empty places.

– Dress warmly, bring identification card, and not bring a lot of money and valuable belongings (phones, jewelry, ect).
