1. The flag-raising and flag-lowering ceremonies are among the proudest moments for the people of Vietnam every day.
The flag-raising ceremony starts precisely at 6 a.m., while the flag-lowering ceremony takes place at 9 p.m. daily. This is considered one of the most intriguing aspects of Hanoi that cannot be overlooked. Throughout Ba Dinh Square, there is solemnity and emotion as the sound of the horn signals the upcoming flag-raising ceremony.
2. Hanoi is famous for its 36 streets and guilds.
In the past, to facilitate memory, the streets in Hanoi were named after the goods sold there. For example, Hàng Bạc Street sold silverware, Hàng Thiếc sold tin, Hàng Quạt sold fans, etc. Nowadays, many streets have transitioned to selling different goods, but in some places, this tradition is still maintained, such as Thuốc Bắc Street, Hàng Bạc Street, etc. The old quarter of Hanoi has been praised on many major international news sites. The ancient streets also leave a strong impression with their narrow alleys and small lanes, which are easy to get lost in.
3. The oldest bridge in Hanoi – Long Bien Bridge.
Considered a historical witness, Long Bien Bridge was constructed from 1899 to 1902, making it the first steel bridge spanning the Red River. It is always a popular destination for tourists to visit and take photos. Many couples even choose this historic bridge as their wedding photoshoot location. The photos taken on the steel bridge are always unique and captivating, drawing much attention.
4. The signature drink – Egg Coffee.
Egg coffee is a unique coffee beverage and a source of pride for the capital’s residents. Although this type of coffee has been replicated in many places, it still cannot match the distinctive taste found in Hanoi. This iconic drink of the capital was even served to international journalists during the 2019 US-North Korea Summit. Renowned international newspapers have lavishly praised this special beverage. This deliciously aromatic drink is always sought after by diners on every visit to Hanoi
5. The Ceramic Road by the Red River.
The Ceramic Road project began in 2007 and was inaugurated in 2010 to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long. Stretching 3.85 km along the Red River, it was recognized by the Guinness World Records as the ‘longest ceramic road in the world’. The road features various ceramic murals depicting different themes. In 2020, Hanoi decided to demolish a 600m section of the Ceramic Road to facilitate the construction and expansion of Au Co Street
6. Hanoi’s 12 Flower Seasons.
Another fascinating aspect of Hanoi is its 12 flower seasons throughout the year. Almost every month, Hanoi showcases a different type of flower. To praise this unique beauty, musician Giang Son wrote the song ‘Hanoi’s 12 Flower Seasons’. In January, the capital city blossoms with cherry blossoms. February sees the streets adorned with purple ban flowers. March is the month of white milk flowers, April features trumpet flowers, and summer arrives in May with vibrant red phoenix flowers and purple lagerstroemia flowers. The fragrance of lotus flowers fills West Lake throughout June. July welcomes the blooming of dracontomelon flowers, and August brings the fragrance of white lilies. The scent of milk flowers is synonymous with autumn in Hanoi. Chrysanthemums and asters bloom in October and November. In December, clusters of yellow cabbage flowers along the Red River banks bloom brightly, marking the end of the year
7. Cốm – A Distinctive Gift for Hanoi’s Cuisine.
One of the delicacies that brings the essence to Hanoi’s cuisine is ‘cốm’, a gift like no other. Only in Hanoi can you find the chewy, fragrant cốm wrapped in lotus leaves. Cốm is typically sold at street vendors, packed by mothers and grandmothers in bamboo baskets.
8. Train Street Cafes.
The cafes along Train Street have attracted a large number of foreign tourists due to their frequent mention in international newspapers. This area is known for trains passing very close to the residential area, providing an exciting spectacle for visitors. Watching the trains pass by at such a close distance often fascinates many tourists.
Moreover, this train street is also a fantastic spot for photography enthusiasts. Many photographers, amateur and professional alike, bring their equipment to capture stunning shots along the train tracks. Some sections even have cafes set up along the train tracks, allowing visitors to enjoy coffee right by the railway
9. The Quang Ba Flower Market at Night.
Exploring the Quang Ba Flower Market is always an exciting experience for tourists visiting Hanoi. The American news outlet CNN once voted this place as one of the most beautiful places in the world to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Located on Au Co Street, Tay Ho District, the market is one of the largest and oldest wholesale flower markets in the city. It operates throughout the night but is typically busiest from 1 to 3 a.m. Flower vendors often have to procure their stock during the night to ensure the freshest flowers possible. Thus, even during the night, the market is bustling with the sound of people buying and selling flowers.
