Hanoi is a unique city where seemingly contradictory characteristics happen to exist in harmony. It is where the
people embrace rich cultural legacy while thriving to modernity and affluence. It is where you can easily find thousand-
year- old pagodas, colonial French-Style buildings, and modem 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.
