HANOI, Vietnam is a city of contrasts. From its ancient streets to its modern high-rise buildings, the city reflects both tradition and progress.
In the Old Quarter, life has practically remained the same for centuries, with residents living in traditional houses, small shops selling goods by craft, and bicycles and street markets shaping daily routines. At the other side of the city, Hanoi has expanded into a modern metropolis with expressways, shopping malls, skyscrapers, and new urban developments like Vinhomes Ocean Park, where condominiums, office buildings, schools, hospitals, and resort facilities are integrated into one massive community.
