Below are some suggestions for eating and playing activities in Hanoi during the September 2nd holiday:

Food tour Hanoi

A day walking around Hoan Kiem Lake walking street, enjoying Trang Tien ice cream, dried beef salad, Thuy Ta mint lemon ice cream, eating Cau Go vermicelli soup, drinking lemon tea at the church, sipping egg cream bread... is wonderful.

Camping along the Red River

Camping has become a trend among young people on weekends or holidays. A famous camping spot right in Hanoi is the Red River rock beach or the large land area at the foot of Vinh Tuy bridge. This is a camping spot with a spacious space, people can watch the sunrise or sunset very romantically.

If you have camping equipment such as tents, tarps, grills, etc., you can bring them along to save money. If you don’t have any equipment or are afraid of carrying bulky items, you can use the rental service here.

When you come to the Red River Stone Beach, you can also visit the Red River Stone Beach flower garden with countless colorful flowers for only a small fee of 30,000 - 55,000 VND/person. Or explore the Chimi Farm strawberry garden not far away.
