One of the attractions for a large number of tourists and young people to check-in and take photos is the building located at No. 44 Le Thai To, Hoan Kiem ward, Hanoi.
The Hanoi Moi newspaper office is located on one of the central streets, right next to the Hoan Kiem Lake area. Amidst the bustling life of the Old Quarter, the building has a contemplative look, with pale yellow paint, windows and architectural details bearing the imprint of time.
Without elaborate decoration, this place still creates its own attraction thanks to the combination of old architecture, street space and the characteristic imprint of a long-standing newspaper office.
One of the special points that many people pay attention to is the news board in front of the building - a place that preserves the "standing newspaper reading" culture of Hanoians.
The news station is designed with a sturdy square iron frame. Inside are newspaper pages spread on a wide panel, with a glass layer protecting from rain and sun.
The bulletin board with the words "New Hanoi" has become one of the details chosen by many young people as a background when taking photos.
According to Pham Phuong Linh, 24 years old, Hanoi, the attraction of this location comes from the combination of modernity and ancient beauty.
In my opinion, the photo spot at 44 Le Thai To is'hot' because the building both has a modern breath and still retains its ancient beauty. I and my friend come here to take photos every time we have time to go to the city," Phuong Linh shared.
According to Linh, instead of having to go to places that are invested in private decoration to serve photography, the space here has many elements available to create a photo with Hanoi colors. From the yellow color of the building, signboards to the rows of trees and the space of the Old Quarter, all create a characteristic background.
Sharing the same view, Ha Ngoc Quynh, a student from Phu Tho, believes that location is one of the important factors creating the attraction of the location.
“This is a location in the center of Hanoi, located on the Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake - where many young people come to check-in, take photos or socialize culturally. Here is the line Hanoi Moi. Secondly, I think its background is very beautiful,” Quynh said.
Not only coming to take photos, many young people combine this stop with a journey to explore Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter. After checking in, they can continue walking through the surrounding streets, enjoying cuisine.
This makes the Hanoi Moi press building a convenient stop in young people's street walks. A trip does not necessarily have a specific itinerary, sometimes just strolling around Hoan Kiem Lake, finding a beautiful street corner and capturing moments of youth.
The attraction of the location also shows that the trend of choosing check-in spaces for young people is changing. Besides the eye-catchingly decorated cafes or modern entertainment spots, many people are looking for works bearing historical, architectural and cultural imprints.
