Hanoi Guide
Orientation
Hanoi sprawls along the Red River (Song Hong), which is spanned by
three bridges. The oldest is the 1682m (5500ft) Long Bien Bridge,
built in 1902. Though bombed repeatedly by the US, the bridge
supported rail and other traffic continuously throughout the war;
today it serves pedestrians and non-motorised vehicles only. A few
metres south is the newer Chuong Duong Bridge, and north of the
city, servicing the airport, is the Thang Long Bridge.
Most of Hanoi's streets are prefixed with pho , while larger roads
and boulevards are called duong . The city is divided into seven
central districts (quan) , surrounded by outlying neighbourhoods
called hyyen . Can't-miss quan include the Hoan Kiem district,
Hanoi's attractive city centre, and the elegant Ba Dinh district,
also known as the French Quarter, which is home to Ho Chi Minh's
mausoleum.
Most travellers experience of Hanoi will be in the Old Quarter, just
north of Hoan Kiem Lake. This fascinating maze is made up of narrow
streets whose names reflect the wares that are sold there.

Getting There
For a capital city there are surprisingly few flights into Hanoi,
but that's slowly changing. You can get direct flights into Hanoi's
Noi Bai airport from Europe (Paris, Vienna and Moscow), Australia
(Sydney and Melbourne), and most major Asian cities (Bangkok, Hong
Kong, Phnom Penh, Tokyo, Seoul, Vientiane, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore
and Taiwan), including several Chinese destinations. There are no
direct flights to Hanoi from the Americas.
The bus system is inexpensive and easy to use with the aid of a bus
map. There is cheap public transportation from Hanoi's several bus
stations to all parts of Vietnam. Most travellers avoid the buses,
preferring to use the transport provided by the government
sanctioned travel and tour companies.
The capital's main train station, Ga Hang Co, provides access to the
2600km (1612mi) Vietnamese railway system, which runs up and down
the coast between Hanoi and Saigon with links all over Vietnam and
twice-weekly service to Beijing. Though sometimes even slower than
the buses, these dilapidated trains are more comfortable as well as
safer, for cross-country travel.
Getting Around
There are plenty of taxis and minibuses plying their trade between
the airport and city centre, and it's possible to hire either for a
trip around town. However, watch out for airport sharks taking you
to the wrong hotel for commission, as this is all too common.
Renting a car or motorbike is a popular option, despite the presence
of water buffalo, chickens, maniacal truck drivers, bicycles laden
with struggling pigs, and packs of hormone-crazed teenage boys in
vehicles of every shape, size and colour all sharing the narrow,
pockmarked roads and obeying traffic laws that have no parallel in
the known universe. Hanoi is so compact that you can get by (and get
fit) by walking around town. Remember, walk don't run through the
traffic: the drivers will go around you (just don't try this at
home!).
