and.....hanoi doesn't have any chinatown,very very small percent chinese live in hanoi...north vietnam has less chinese community,don't be suprised,although north vietnam is near china,but with many reasons...well,long story,long talking...i can't say here

chinese community in vietnam is well-known in south vietnam,the biggest is in Saigon,District 5 - Cho Lon,well...but is still very small when compare to other chinese community in other country in ASEAN

Hanoi looks beautiful! It seem to have much greenery.

^those still have to be my most favorite hills in the world... they're just so unrealistic...

[Thundertubs]

As noted by others: wow @ that first shot.

[Nineties Flava]

Wow those hills are surrealistic... what a beautiful place.

Love the dense, crowded, cluttered with advertising, urban fabric!

I am what republicans would call a socialist

I love paying taxes and I love (over)using government subsidized services

Thanks for continuing to post these pics of HN and Ha Long Bay.

I've been to Ha Noi a couple times myself: the Old Quarter, Frech Quarter and Lake District are pretty cool...very different from Saigon.

Lots to do in Vietnam and well worth the visit.

I saw jackets in some of those photo's, so there's hope I may go over there for a visit. This long-term desert rat, so accustomed to very low humidity, swore off that region of the country, after a disastrous trip to Bangkok, where I almost keeled over with the heat and humidity, so if I do my research on the coolest time to visit there, it may happen!

Now is the time to go, to still see it in its generic state, before it gets Singapored or Shanghaiied!

On my trips to Americanized China, I thought many times: Too late! Should have visited there 20 years ago!
