skyscrapers all located on the same street. And it is where you can find hip-hop dancers showcasing
their skills with daring moves in the same park where old grandfathers are doing Taichi with a calm
and relaxing demeanor.
When it comes to tourism, there are endless choices for a thrilling and satisfying excursion in
Hanoi. In this city of more than one thousand year of historical continuity, you can virtually walk
through time as you visit various tourist attractions and historical sites. Some of them date back to as
far as the 1000s C.E., such as One Pillared Pagoda, Temple of Literature and National University. The
Old Quarter is also a historical landmark as it was actually constructed many centuries ago,
encompassing streets that made and sold all sorts of commodities. The sights of modernity such as
high-rise buildings with shopping, dinning and entertainment complexes, are, of course, visible
everywhere in the city.
