This is the Hanoi we all know, that we all visit, that we all carry in our memories and on our phones or cameras.<\/p>\n
But when we delve a little deeper into the city’s authentic life, we can encounter truly rewarding moments and situations.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”8057″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

It’s wonderful to see how, after each sip, following a toast, everyone shakes hands enthusiastically in a seemingly endless ritual, as sometimes the tables seat more than 14 people.

And always, taking over the streets, are dozens upon dozens of motorcycles locked in an indescribable choreography. The city has no fewer than six and a half million scooters, and it feels like every single one of them is on the exact same street as you, at the very moment you are there.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”8054″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]\n
However, once 11 p.m. hits, it\u2019s better\u2014decidedly better\u2014to head north to the flower night market. It is a visual spectacle of color and life. Trucks full of flowers roll in, while motorcycles emerge impossibly loaded with thousands of blossoms, each more beautiful than the last. A free visual feast, visible every day from 11 p.m. until dawn.”[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”8055″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]Walking across the Long Bien iron bridge<\/strong> or exploring the bunkers beneath the Imperial Citadel<\/strong> are just a few more items to add to your list for that lesser-known Hanoi, <\/strong>the one that is truly worth discovering[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”5903″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”custom” delay=”150″ margin_top=”15″ margin_bottom=”15″ max_width_custom=”150px”][vc_column_text]\n R.
