Top Things to do in Hanoi
The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Hanoi, Vietnam
The charming Vietnamese capital has aged well, preserving the Old Quarter, monuments and colonial architecture, while making room for modern developments alongside. Hanoi may have shrugged off several former names, including Thang Long, or "ascending dragon," but it hasn't forgotten its past, as sites such as Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and Hoa Lo Prison attest. Lakes, parks, shady boulevards and more than 600 temples and pagodas add to the appeal of this city, which is easily explored by taxi.

5. Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13,508 reviews
A rare breed of turtle enjoys this popular lake almost as much as countless locals and tourists. Hoan Kiem Lake is a dynamic daily tableau, from morning walks amid locals doing exercises on the shore, to young couples water-gazing on park benches, to the multiple shopping and sight-seeing opportunities in the vicinity. Centrally located in the city, Hoan Kiem Lake serves as a massive home base, and provides endless people-watching and recreational opportunities on the edge of the Old Quarter.

If you only have a day or two to spend in Hanoi, I recommend you to walk around the Hoan Kiem lake. This way you will be able to see it all: the hustle and bustle of the Old Quarter with milions of crazy motorcycles, beautiful and well maintained parks and gardens, temples and monuments, local people and tourists, old and new buildings... it is really hard to describe it, you need to live it. The walk around the lake takes about 30 minutes, but add at least 30 for photo stops. I can't wait to go back.

9. Ba Vi National Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 78 reviews
Located in Ba Vi Mountain Range, about 60 kilometers to the west of Hanoi, Ba Vi National Park, originally a French hill station, is considered as a fascinating destination for a weekend getaway. With a total area of over 10,000 hectares, Ba Vi National Park has everything to offer, from an amazingly biodiverse area of tourist resorts, a string of mysterious French ruins to a host of intriguing mini-hikes and trekking trails.

We were taking a ride up to Sapa from Hanoi and planned to take two days, with a stop in Yen Bai overnight on the first day. Ba Vi is roughly along the way to Yen Bai and is an easy detour to see some nice mountains and scenic places. Google maps brought us to Ba Vi National Park quite easily, without any problems along the way. The whole trip is at most 2 hours out from Hanoi, going at a reasonable pace on a motorcycle. If you don't have any experience on a motorbike, perhaps you may want to think about going up this place. It has hairpins and some reasonable inclines that might throw a new rider off. That being said, the roads are perfectly paved (as compared to some i have had the misfortune of going on) and the inclines are doable even on a bike with less power (125cc). Entrance Fees were VND65,000 per person, but I can't read or speak a word of vietnamese, so if they charged me extra, i have no idea haha. You pay for the tickets at the foot of the park and then travel uphill from there. We didn't have too much time, so we rode up to the Church and the temple. Interestingly, as it was a weekend, there were many young Vietnamese people at the Church's ruins, all having a wonderful day out and bbqing/picnicking around the area. The path to the Church is steeper than anything else there, so be careful if you're new or are riding a really crappy bike. The temple is right on top of the hill, just keep going upwards and you'll reach it.
