It wasn't easy, researching online, reading articles, reviews, forums, recommendations, blogs, I'm blessed to have great friends (Zuoen & Terence) to share their itineraries and things to note with me. I decided on our 5 Days 4 Nights trip for a family of 4 scheduled as below:
Day 1: Touch down Hanoi in the evening, free & easy
Day 2: Day Trip to Bai Dinh Pagoda and Trang An
Day 3: Halong Bay 2D1N (will be updated in the next post!)
Day 4: Halong Bay, Hoan Kiem Lake, Water Puppet Show
Day 5: Temple of Literature, Ho Chi Minh Complex and Cafe Giang with Hanoi Kids
Short introduction about Hanoi, Hà means River and Nội means within, the land of Hà Nội is surrounded by Red River thus its name. Hà Nội is not the biggest city, but it has the highest population living in the City as it was the Capital of Vietnam before they moved it to Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City.
Depending on your preference, there is lotsa shopping you can do here in Hanoi, Old Quarters and scenery viewing around North Vietnam. I love the Ocean/ Lake more than shopping, thus there is not much shopping in my itinerary, just some free & easy time at night.
