Hanoi Week End

 The ornate facades of the houses in Ha Noi.

Hanoi, capital city of Vietnam, is characterised by refined colonial architecture and tree-lined boulevards. Lakes and parks are dotted throughout the city. In contrast to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi is more traditional, with a rich historical background that dates back to the 9th  Century. This is evident in the Old Quarter where traditional trades have been passed down from generations.
