Hello Hanoi! Capital city of Vietnam🇻🇳 (Vietnam Travel 2021)

[@20luzer52]

I've always preferred Hanoi over HCMC due to its unique appearance with the lakes, the old and French architecture, the parks and its unique history of having survived countless wars. HCMC are similar to other large SE Asian cities with its Western style so it, and they, really don't seem special to me. Just my personal opinion as someone who is from a Western country. I love Hanoi's old, dark, narrow dodgy looking alleys leading to beautiful special cafes inside was very cool.

[@enafrancia]

Yup they are very different city but both are unique. Hanoi overall, maintains its traditional look and vibes, while HCMC still has old preserved historical sites like the Independence Palace, Opera House etc, together with modern and skyscrapers buildings. Don't forget the Vietnamese food also, both offer amazing flavors!

[@Lol-ok9kl]

HCMC or any Southern cities do not have traditional Vietnamese architecture, not because they are modernized but because Vietnam only expanded to the South in the 18th century so they are relatively new places. In the South you will find architecture of native people who used to live there such as Cambodians, Champans and other ethnic groups

[@enafrancia]

@@Lol-ok9kl good to know about this facts! 🥰

[@enafrancia]

@Rebecca Matthews yes i quite envy the seasons in Northern VN, South can get really, like all year round 🔥 🥵

[@enafrancia]

@Rebecca Matthews are still here in Vietnam? good to know this tips, i've never been to the northern part of Hanoi, i have doubts that i can travel there, given that it's mostly greeneries, mountainous etc 😮‍💨

[@metalhamster14]

the embassy building is very pretty some of the buildings in Hanoi are quite nice, this is one thing that stuck out to me when I visited

[@enafrancia]

Hey there! Yup, most embassies in Hanoi are located in French quarter, that's why most buildings have Gothic architectural design. Hanoi's actually impressive on preserving it too.

[@tinhhoangvan9327]

In fact, the old town or French quarter area was very large in the past. But 70% was destroyed in bombing battles from B52 aircraft during the Vietnam War.

[@eqmknguyen2251]

Hanoi is beautiful and ancient Vietnam really, The North and the South are like two different countries to foreigners from architecture, culture, climate, people, and food.

[@HaNguyen-iv2ud]

Even being a Hanoian, I fall in love again with Hanoi through your video. Wish you have great time !!

[@enafrancia]

i would love to visit again in Hanoi, it's still slightly lockdown last year, i envy some foreign travelers enjoying their time in Hanoi this year 🥲. Glad that you liked this video, and yes so far im having a great time here in HCMC, though it's really hot in here, all year. 🔥 🥵

Hello. I am a Vietnamese and living in Ho Chi Minh City. But I prefer Hanoi too. Have fun 😍👍

[@enafrancia]

Hi Eddy! it's a tough choice, but i maybe a little biased, since i have been living here in Saigon for 3 yrs, so far im still happy here. But i would love to visit Hanoi again when covid cases settle, i only visited few places! Thanks for being in this channel, have a great day!

[@casharade]

Can't wait to visit Hanoi and try their food. :) thanks to your vlog about Hanoi.

[@enafrancia]

the pleasure's mine! i hope you visit Saigon/ Ho Chi Minh City too!

[@Blazjul]

Decided to fast forward a lot of the beginning part cuz it reminds me too much of my own daily, boring life 😂 other parts of the video were good

[@alc6799]

A refreshing introduction to Hanoi. Thanks.

Leo was pretending to be sick.... he didn't want to take photos of you all over the place. That is why he only came out during dinner :D Joking. Really enjoyed your video and hope you do more cities.

[@enafrancia]

HAHAHA! hmmm we have to talk about it! Didn't double checked though! you have a point there, we really have some discussion to make hehehe. Glad you enjoyed this video, we do hope also to explore more of VN, and also no lockdowns in the future. any suggestion? 😙

[@DiscoDrew]

I’m new here, and love the no nonsense style of filming. Good work Ena and Leo 👍

[@enafrancia]

Hi Drew, it's like we don't know what we're doing and where we're going at that time, cause most shops/tourist spots were closed before in Hanoi, there's subtle restrictions, i mean.Glad u still liked it. 😅

[@enafrancia]

Yes, definitely! Especially now that we're going back to normal, i would love to give it another try. I missed to visit a lot of places there, since i went there last December 2021 and Hanoi wasn't fully reopened yet.i agree i loved the food, cold weather and people too, they have different accent, i noticed. 🤔🤔😊😊

Hanoi is one of a kind! Loved the well-preserved colonial buildings, street food scenes & cultural sites to explore!

[@bchow6504]

Yeah, as you see. There is not much to do in Hanoi as in Manilla or in the Philippines ( I have never been to the Philippines but I imagine there would be more activities). Yeah, eating and chitchating. That's what we like to do in Hanoi😄

[@bchow6504]

I would love to visit the Philippines in future. Especially Palawan 🤤

@@bchow6504 Palawan has the best beach in Philippines, hope u can visit! Specially in Coron, Palawan white sand clean beach ⛱ seafood 👍👌

[@tuanmap4512]

600K sounds about right for your seafood dinner. Ốc hương (sweet snail), Mực sữa (milk squid ?! lol) and Hàu (Oyster) are quite expensive.

[@enafrancia]

Good to hear that! This really bothered me for few days since street food doesn't have menu, so i wouldn't really know if they're charging us fairly. maybe i'm used to prices here in HCM, it's a bit lower. Thanks Tuấn Mập can sleep in peace now, i have closure now with Hanoi seafood hehehe

[@mayoau8518]

@@enafrancia you are eating the food in the old town. Those places are for foreign tourists, so most of the prices are quite high, 3 4 5 times higher than the normal price. We will not eat in the city center if we go to eat.

[@enafrancia]

@@mayoau8518 yes i ate in the city center, where to eat cheaper vietnamese food? Or any street food? 🤔🤔

[@mayoau8518]

@@enafrancia If you want to eat cheap food, avoid central areas like Hoan Kiem, West Lake, Ba Dinh... Those areas will be twice or 3 times more expensive than other places. The rest are cheaper places. If you want to eat street food or go to places belonging to Vietnamese universities, for example "Bách- Kinh-Xây" stands for the streets around 3 Vietnamese universities.

you should bring a jacket, because the temperature in late December in northern Vietnam is always around or below 13 degrees Celsius and it is very cold at night. It is very suitable for a Christmas celebration. Welcome to Vietnam from a Hanoi IT engineer

[@mvn591014]

Hello ena of the Philippines. You are not working in Vietnam as a nurse, are you? There are many Filipino nurses living in the United States which took over the rule of the Phillipines (named after King Philip of Spain) in the Spanish-American War. Before that, a contingent of Spanish Filipinos joined with the French in the seizure of the citadel of Gia Dinh (today Ho Chi Minh City). The history of French Saigon begins right after this event. Also, during the American War in Vietnam. the Philippines (Roman Catholic) made a propaganda movie about what life would be like under a Communist regime. What an irony, as you are a witness of the Truth. Yet many overseas Vietnamese political refugees refuse to accept the reality of Ho Chi Minh sincere intentions back then. Let them watch your videos.
