Hanoi, the spirit of Vietnam

Let’s learn about Hanoi, Vietnam’s thousand-year old city. Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is the second largest city in Vietnam after Ho Chi Minh, but unlike Ho Chi Minh, it has been the central hub of Vietnam for the past 1,000 years. Even during the invasion of the Mongol Empire in the 13th century, the Vietnamese Tran Dynasty, whose capital was Hanoi at the time, prevented three Mongol invasions, led by General Tran Hung Dao, and also defeated the United States, the world's most powerful country, during the Vietnam War.
Places worth visiting in Hanoi are 36 Street, the Old Quarter, also known as the Old Quarter, and Hoan Kiem Lake. I think you can feel the essence of Hanoi just by visiting these two places.
The more you know about Vietnam's history and Hanoi's historical significance, the more special city Hanoi becomes.
