Go to see Hanoi from a different angle
Not choosing remote tourist destinations, Nguyen My Hoa (19 years old, Hanoi) often explores the corners of the Capital with friends. For Hoa, that trip is also a way to better understand the beauty and culture of Hanoi.
I often choose to go with close friends to explore the corners of Hanoi, experience cafes from sidewalks to high-end restaurants to better understand the cultural features of the Capital" - Hoa shared.
Among the places she has visited, the most impressive thing for the young girl is the old apartment buildings such as Thanh Cong or Nam Dong.
According to Hoa, it is a very different Hanoi with ancient, peaceful beauty and many traces of time, retaining the special features of an old Hanoi, where there are loudspeakers, yellow mossy walls and generations who have lived together for many years.
Sharing the same hobby of seeking peace in the heart of the city, Le Ngoc Nhi (21 years old, Hanoi) loves Hanoi in a very unique way - exploring the city at night.
Nhi often stops by cafes located deep in small alleys or travels by motorbike through Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi Flagpole, Long Bien Bridge.
According to Nhi, the same location but at different time frames has completely different beauties. If Hoan Kiem Lake is crowded and bustling during the day, it has a rare poetic and quiet appearance at night.
The space is quiet, the streets are deserted, the lake surface is as bright as a mirror reflecting city lights, making me feel very relaxed" - Nhi said.
She also especially loves the moment of watching the red flag flying on top of the Hanoi Flagpole amidst the night lights or watching the brilliant red sunset on Long Bien Bridge, these are images that bring new emotions.
Finding peace from familiar angles
As a person born and raised in Hanoi, Phi Hoang Nguyet Minh (22 years old, Hanoi) admitted that there was a period when he felt the city became too familiar, even lacking novelty.
However, when trying to live like a "tourist" right in her own place, Nguyet Minh discovered many different things.
Short trips in the inner city, for many young people, are not simply entertainment activities but also a way to balance emotions after study and work pressure. G
In a crowded and bustling Hanoi, they come to peaceful small corners to rest their spirits.
For many young people, sometimes they don't need to go far, but just take time to slow down, step out of the familiar pace and look at the city with a different look. From there, they can find new things right in the place they live.
