Hanoi
has shaken off its hostile attitude to travelers to become
one of the most beguiling cities in Southeast Asia. It's
slow-paced and pleasant, with a lovely landscape of lakes,
shaded boulevards, verdant public parks and French-colonial
architecture. Hanoi is divided into four main districts, or
quan named Hoan Kiem District, Ba Dinh District, Hai Ba
Trung District, Dong Da District. Getting around Hanoi on
foot can be tiring, so if you intend to stick within the Old
Quarter or elsewhere in Hoan Kiem District, break up your
walks with a cyclo ride or two. During the festival of Tet,
the lunar New Year, accommodations are scarce; and museums,
offices, and shops tend to close for days at a time.
