Hanoi Opera House - 1992
Hanoi Opera House - 1992
Location: Hanoi, Hanoi, Vietnam
All roads to Halong Bay lead through Hanoi, one of Asia's most beautiful cities thanks to the French colonial architecture in both government buildings and the residential French (Old) Quarter. When I first visited Hanoi in 1992, there wasn't a high rise in the city, so the skyline changed, but government buildings and the French Quarter remain the same. Every first visit to Hanoi should budget a day just to take in the city. Cyclo tours are cheap and fun.
