My One Day in Hanoi
After an early morning checkout from Glamour Hotel Da Nang, I rode a motorbike to Da Nang Airport, returned the bike, and boarded a VietJet flight to Hanoi. By noon, I checked into the Thang Long Opera Hotel, eager to explore the city.
I began with a stroll through Hanoi’s Old Quarter, a historic area known for its bustling streets and colonial architecture. The narrow lanes, filled with street vendors and traditional shops, offered a glimpse into the city’s daily life. For lunch, I opted for the familiar comfort of KFC, providing a brief respite before continuing my exploration.
