EXPLORING HANOI BY NIGHT


After 3 hous exploring Hanoi by night with the enthusiastic non-professional tour guide of   Vietwind travel, we had a great time with unforgettable memories.


Hanoi by night 

Get started with water puppet show- a unique art of Vietnam whose special element is the use of the water surface as a stage for performance. The stage for performance which is a space in front of the puppet house is called puppet house or water house, and built in the pond or lake with balanced architecture symbolizing the communal house roof in Vietnamese rural areas. All the performing activities, stages and flags, fans, elephants, parasols, decoration gates, etc are truly small communal houses with their bending roofs which are vividly reflected on the water surface. By performing the old traditional water puppet show, daily activities and customs of Viet Nam peasants are vividly expressed

After watching water puppet show, the tour guide took us around the Old Quarter streets: hang Ngang, Hang Dao, Dinh Liet,,, with a lot of goods. Today, walking through the streets in this ancient heart of the old city, the young tour guide told us that  these still bear the name of the trades and commodities plied in them many generations ago and in some the tradition carries on to this day: cotton, sail, rice, sugar, vermicelli ( hang bun), Jute ( Hang Gai) .
We continued visiting Hoan Kiem lake, Ngoc Son temple Which are considered as the heart of Hanoi attached with the ancient legend about the great turtle. The most interesting point of our journey was enjoying Hanoi street food which was really awesome and cheap. Some famous dishes can be listed including Bun Cha (vermicelli with grilled meat), Bun thang (vermicelli in chicken soup), Pho…
With a short time in Hanoi old Quarter, we had some insight about this beautiful  city. Hanoi  is really a great destination worth visiting
