Hanoi has always been a sacred land with a long history of development spanning thousands years. The city is home to many famous cultural relics and natural tourist attractions such as Hoang Thanh Thang Long (The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long), Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam (The Temple of Literature), the Old Quarter; along with traditional handicraft villages and exceptionally beautiful landscapes like Hoan Kiem Lake, West Lake, the Hanoi Opera House; as well as some large national museums and folk-art venues, for example traditional musical theatres and water puppet shows, which are really attractive to domestic and international tourists. Hanoi is the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, also the political, cultural and scientific-technological centre of the country. Therefore, Hanoi is always the first choice of foreign tourists as one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Vietnam. With this guidebook “Hanoi Travel Guide”, we hope to help you fully discover and experience this amazing city, while enjoying your journey in the most fun and meaningful manner. 8 Hanoi travel guides Hanoi travel guides 9 ore than a millennium ago, the King Ly Thai To found one sacred natural site and decided to turn it into the capital Mof the country. It is said that the site included an area of broad, flat land with high terrain, bright sunshine and rich, fertile soils which meant the population would not suffer from floods and darkness. Then, the ancient land of Thang Long became an intersecting point of four directions of the country. A thousand years later, Thang Long - Hanoi is still Vietnam’s heart, the city of thousands of years of civilisation with its sacred and authentic beauty. Hanoi is a serene and antique city with ancient walls and old streets. Hanoi also has the beauty of a modern and youthful city which is set to rise strongly. Hanoi is a colourful land - a melting pot of cultural and spiritual values with sophisticated cuisine; a city which evokes different emotions just by strolling along the streets lined by decade-old iconic trees, seeing the flower vendors on cycles; or humming an old song to the people who have been living here for many years.

Thenkabail Received: 21 February 2016; Accepted: 12 April 2016; Published: 19 April 2016 Abstract: In this study, subsidence patterns in the Historical Centre of Hanoi, Vietnam are mapped using the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technique, with particular emphasis on the stability of ancient monuments, historical buildings and archaeological sectors. Due to the small and scattered characteristics of these structures, not only is a comprehensive coverage of radar targets needed, but also the details of a single building or monument. We took advantage of the high-resolution TerraSAR-X imagery with the aid of oversampling implementation on the Small Baseline (SB) InSAR approach to reveal the subsidence patterns. A total of 6.29 million radar targets were obtained, maintaining the average density of 217,012 points/km2. Our results suggest that image oversampling not only increased the number of measurement points 4.4 times more than the standard processing chain, but also removed some of the noisiest points.

  • Located in the Northern Part of Vietnam, Hanoi Boasts of a Population of 6,238,000 People
    Located in the northern part of Vietnam, Hanoi boasts of a population of 6,238,000 people. Hanoi was the center of politics of Vietnam from 1010 to 1802. It was the capital of French Indo-China from 1887 to 1945. It was the capital of North Vietnam from 1945 to 1976. Located on the banks of the Red River, Hanoi boasts of a rich culture and history.

The city became the capital of North Vietnam amidst a longstanding tussle between the French and the Vietminh forces. Its communication was severely disrupted during the Vietnam War. Hanoi became the capital of united Vietnam on 2 July, 1976. Hanoi has been on the road to development in recent times. Hanoi is regarded as the cultural capital of Vietnam, absorbing traits of the various dynasties that ruled this land.

Overnight in Luang Prabang. Meal Plan: Dinner, if required. Day 2 Luang Prabang: Town Touring In the 14th century, this city was established as the royal capital by Fa Ngoum, the first monarch of Lan Xang, the "Land of a Million Elephants" (a charming and evocative nickname from times gone by. Latest figures indicate that Loas's population of wild elephants is in the range of 781- 1,202). By this time, the city had already been the seat of local kingdoms for 600 years. According to legend, the site of the town was chosen by two resident hermits and was originally known as Xieng Thong --"Copper Tree City". We have an orientation of this charming town, with its one main street lined with colonial era buildings housing shops and cafes. We have a chance to explore the town on foot and to climb to the top of Phu Si Hill. Looking directly downwards you can see that the former royal palace has a cruciform ground plan. Overnight in Luang Prabang. Meal Plan: Breakfast and Dinner Day 3 Luang Prabang Area An early departure today takes to the Mekong River for a boat journey to visit the Pak Ou Caves.

First and foremost, I must thank my SIT program director Mrs. Duong Van Thanh. To a foreigner, Vietnam can be quite a perplexing maze at times. Traveling, conducting research, and even ordering food in Vietnam can confound even the most ardent cosmopolitan. I can honestly say that I could not have had a better guide to Vietnam than Co Thanh. She seemed to have dozens of friends wherever we traveled, and always knew just the right people to put me in contact with when I was conducting my independent research. Her help in translating documents, as well as interviews, was immeasurable, and I cannot thank her enough for her help with general things like traveling during my research. Additionally, I would like to thank my program assistant Vy Ho.

CHAPTER 6 DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ESTATES, PORTS, AND METROPOLITAN AND ALTERNATIVE ROADS IN THE GREATER HANOI AREA Nguyen Binh Giang INTRODUCTION While Hanoi has a long history as the capital city of Vietnam, its urbanization has been considerably rapid during the past 20 years. This includes the modernization of inner districts, urbanization of peripheral areas and establishment of new urban districts. The urbanization process has been fed by two major factors: high economic growth (both industry and trade-service sectors) and mass immigration. Today, Hanoi is a first-level local administrative subdivision unit, with the country’s second-largest urban population (2,644,536 people1 or 41% nationally) after Ho Chi Minh City. Provinces around Hanoi also have been rapidly urbanized. A number of cities have been established by being upgraded from towns. Many towns have been established by being upgraded from townships. And, many townships have been newly established. Since the early 2000s, a metropolitan area and indeed a conurbation – the Greater Hanoi area – has been configured. Urbanization in the Greater Hanoi area is closely linked to industrialization.
