Located in northern Vietnam on the banks of the Red River, Hanoi is the nation’s capital and has a population of over 8.1 million people. Founded in 1010 by the first ruler of the Ly Dynasty, Ly Thai To, it was first known as Thang Long, which means rising dragon. The city changed hands several times over the years, with the majority of the time between 1883 to 1945 being run by the French. In fact, it did not become the capital of Vietnam again until after the Viet Minh forces were able to regain control in 1954.
Being such an old city, you can find many ancient ruins, pagodas, and historic buildings and memorials. Because of the lengthy French occupation, the city has two main neighborhoods: the French Quarter and the Old Quarter. You will also notice many French-Colonial areas of the city where you can see incredible works of art and mixtures of French and Chinese handcrafted architecture. There is even a bit of Russian influence.
With such a diverse past, the city has a variety of different cultural sections. For example, the Old Quarter has local trade featuring mostly bamboo, jewelry, and silks. The French Quarter is separated into two areas. The Ba Dinh District is the governmental center with the Presidential Palace and embassies. The Hoan Kiem District has many landmarks like St. Joseph’s Cathedral, National Museum of Vietnamese History, and the Hanoi Opera House. Be sure to visit all the areas of Hanoi so you can get the full cultural experiences.
Nobody wants to have to bring their luggage or work gear from place to place when out on the town. Many of the attractions and museums do not allow them. And enjoying an excursion or meal is more enjoyable hands-free. Bounce has partnered with local businesses in the area where you can safely leave your bags. Download the Bounce app and find the nearest location, book your bags, and drop them off for the day.
