Vacation Overview

Ha Noi, the capital of Viet Nam, is the political, economic, cultural, commercial, and tourist center of the country. To visit Ha Noi is to step yourself in history, tradition, and legend in a capital that has been inhabited for almost a millennium.

As an ancient capital, Ha Noi was established in 1010 during the Ly dynasty. The flow of time brought this capital various names: Thang Long, Dong Do and finally Ha Noi. Nowadays Ha Noi still preserves plenty of ancient architectural works comprising the old streets and over 600 pagodas and temples lying nestled in rows of trees. Ha Noi’s present architecture was mainly formed between the 19th and 20th centuries, and the stately French built section of town is largely intact.
