Join me, a native son of Hanoi, on a journey to discover the subtle and enchanting beauty of this thousand-year-old capital. My love for Hanoi is not just pride in a city steeped in history, but also an appreciation for every vibrant moment, every street corner, every temple, and every bridge here.

I was born and raised in Hanoi, where each dawn paints a vivid picture with the green trees along Hoan Kiem Lake, where the gentle morning light hints at the start of a new day. I’ve walked down each ancient street, where every brick, every roof tile holds countless stories of history, culture, and the lives of Hanoi’s citizens.

As you follow me, we’ll lose ourselves in the small alleys, where the calls of street vendors echo, where the rich aroma of pho wafts through the cool air of the early morning. We’ll visit the Grand Cathedral, an architectural symbol of Hanoi, where each stone, each window bears the marks of time.

Moving on, we’ll come to the Temple of Literature – Quoc Tu Giam, where the nation’s knowledge and essence are preserved. Here, the shadows of ancient scholars linger among the rows of trees, the stone columns. I’ll tell you about the tradition of scholarship, the imperial exams, and the unending pursuit of learning that characterizes Hanoi’s people.

We can’t overlook the One Pillar Pagoda, a symbol of resilience and defiance, or the Long Bien Bridge – a historical witness to the city’s ups and downs, intimately connected with generations of Hanoians. Under the soft yellow lights, the bridge becomes a place for strolls, contemplation, and watching the peaceful flow of the Red River.

And as night falls, Hanoi dons a new cloak. The pedestrian streets become bustling with laughter, music, and bright lights. I’ll take you through each sidewalk café, where we can talk, share life stories, dreams, and aspirations.

Let me, through each article, each story, each photograph, take you down each street, to each temple, each bridge, and many landmarks and special places of Hanoi. So that you can feel my love for Hanoi is not just words, but a journey of experience, a journey of the soul.
