Hong Kong Madame fell under Hanoi and Halong bay's spell. Only two hours of plane from our tall buildings, you will get the chance to have an unforgettable trip.
Let's start with Hanoi : the capital is swarming with people, scooters and dust as well as weever of colours, smells and people warmth. The change of scene is guaranteed. Far from out habits, codes and marks, you will enjoy this amazing and mind-blowing city. We love to walk along the street flooded by life, art and culture. Pick a little boutique-hotel such as Hanoi Elegance Hotel that we tried out for you and which is totally adequate. No airs. Simple, enjoyable and efficient. Really well-located. The welcome is friendly and the staff is very helping. However, make sure you clarify the fact that you want a room with a window (yeah, we are not kidding!). Don't hesitate to venture yourself in local little restaurants settled on the city's sidewalks. Your taste buds will be in alert.
After few days spent in this frenetic city, it is time to let yourself go to quiet and relaxing pleasures of Halong Bay. Two days and one night will be enough to blow you away! The seventh wonder of the world won't let you emotionless.
