[THE CYCLO] 🎠🚲

The cyclo is a three-wheeled bicycle taxi that appeared in Vietnam during the French colonial period. Sitting in this vehicle, passengers can feel safe, comfortable and avoid rainy or sunny weather thanks to the hood. Nowadays, modern means of transportation such as cars and motorcycles are replacing bicycles more and more. However, pedicabs can still be seen. They are renovated and decorated to attract tourists and have become one of the cultural charms of Vietnam.

[D**G XUAN MARKET] ⛲🤩💸

D**g Xuan Market is one of the largest markets in Hanoi, located in the Old Quarter of the city. The market has a history that spans hundreds of years, dating back to the feudal era of the Nguyen dynasty. This is a place where you can find all sorts of products for a great deal. In the folk song "Vui nhất là chợ Đồng Xuân" (Happiest is D**g Xuan Market), the lyrics vividly describe the market (and here our attempt to translate it):

“... Happiest is D**g Xuan Market
In any season, it's always bustling, near and far people come to see and buy
At the central entrance, there's a woman selling coconuts
Stalls of areca nuts, kumquats, melons, and persimmons
Oh, stop and take a look
Bamboo stalls, lively and graceful
Outside the market, there's a woman selling flowers
People exchanging money, coming and going…”

EP12: RETRO CAFES IN HANOI ☕🕰️

Wandering around in the streets of Hanoi, you can easily find vintage coffee shops, due to the upsurge of retro cafes in the last decade or so. These coffee shops act as walk-in time machines that take you back to the old days, typically “Thoi Bao Cap” or the period of the “Subsidy Economy” from 1975 to 1986. These cafes bring people a sense of nostalgia to a simpler time and they have been the favorite hang out spots for people of younger generations as well.

[SHAN TUYET - SNOW TEA] ❄️🫖😳

Shan Tuyet tea is one of the prominent specialties of Nam Hong village.

Enjoying a cup of tea amidst the picturesque scenery of Nam Hong is like a revitalizing "remedy" for your soul.

[TEETH BLACKENING TRADITION IN VIETNAM] 😬🖤

Teeth blackening was a cultural tradition in some indigenous communities in Vietnam, particularly among women from ethnic minority groups like the Hmong, Black Thai, and Co Lao. This tradition involved intentionally blackening the teeth, primarily the incisors, using a mixture of natural substances, including lime juices and betel leaves. It was considered a form of beauty and social status within these communities.

However, this practice has become less common over the years, largely due to the influence of mainstream Vietnamese culture and social changes. Younger generations, especially in urban areas, no longer practice this tradition.

Pay the North-west of Vietnam a visit where some women still keep this unique tradition:

[FLOATING MARKETS IN THE MEKONG DELTA] 🚣

The floating markets of the Mekong Delta have been a means of commerce for the inhabitants of the river region for a hundred years, due to the density of the canals. These markets are held early in the morning at canal intersections, when the water level is neither too low nor too high. There you can find exotic fruits, vegetables and herbs, seafood and artisanal products.

The dry season (November to April) is considered to be the best time to visit the floating markets, the waters are calm and it is the harvest season for tropical fruits.

These markets are unique destinations that will allow you to discover Vietnamese river culture and have an unforgettable experience.

BUCKWHEAT FLOWER SEASON IN HA GIANG🌺

Ha Giang is one of the most beautiful destinations in Vietnam, thanks to its limestone mountains, impressive zigzag passes and hospitable ethnic villages. Ha Giang is especially beautiful in October for it's the season of buckwheat flowers! 💐

Buckwheat flowers look similar to Ox-eye daisies, with a yellow center and small, delicate pink petals (or blue depending on the region). This flower blooms between September and November in Vietnam, that is why the Buckwheat Flower Festival takes place late October, early November, when it’s the most beautiful. At the festival, other than admiring the ethereal beauty of the flower, visitors can also participate in cultural activities like kayak racing, stand-up paddleboarding, buckwheat cake baking contest and other folk games. 🎊

Go ahead and plan your next trip to Ha Giang for an unforgettable experience:
