Hanoi: A Living History
Tet Holiday Flower Market
Flower Market is an indispensable part of the Vietnamese when it comes to Tet holiday. These shots were taken at a flower market on Chua Lang street, Dong Da, Ha Noi.
Cherry Blossom is a symbolic flower used for decoration in the Northern Part of Vietnam during Tet holiday. People believe that Cherry Blossoms is the epitome of five elements, and its gentle color symbolize purity, nobility, and bring luck and prosperity.
Chu Nhat Cafe and Homestay
This is a homestay that I stayed at during my time to Ha Noi in 2024. The cat was the mascot of the place, and he was so cuteeeee. The kids working at the place was also very friendly.Although they did not speak English very well, we did have a great time chatting and hanging out. I definitely recommend this place for solo travellers and anyone who want to experience the friendliness of Hanoian.
Hoan Kiem Lake
Hoan Kiem Lake - a must-visit place if you ever come to Ha Noi. The lake is a walking street, where you can experience various social events, and encounter many peoples from different cultures too.
These photos were taken during my trip to Ha Noi in 2024. You can see the photos from Hang Ma - a famous street selling decorations for festive events in Vietnam, or the Temple in the middle of the Lake - a historical place which appears in many Vietnamese Fairy Tales
