What to do and see in Hanoi, Vietnam: The Best Other Outdoor Activities

May 19, 2021 Jana Sager

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.

Reviewed By ngsheaut

My husband and I had the best experience in Sa Pa in early November. Green Discovery arranged a great trip for us including Train Ticket and Tour information. It’s all thanks to our Travel Advisor Ms Anna. She followed us throughout the whole trip and made sure all travelling went well. She informed us on train and pick up times, even though we had the information already. You made our holiday a truly memorable experience. Thank you!

Indochina Motorbike Tours

Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are very close neighboring countries and usually called Indochina. Probably tourists are too familiar with traveling with classic tours but there is now a new special trend in tourism for those who want to approach the top of freedom. That is by motorbikes and seemingly the best way to travel in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia is by motorbikes as well.
