A beautiful city of lakes -- more cars than Saigon, but better regard for traffic rules!!! The cooler weather was a pleasure after the steamy days in Thailand, Cambodia & Saigon. |
I chose the picture above for the opening page because it reflects both the traditional [the old building, the vegetable stand] and the modern [the woman watching television sitting on a plastic stool]. It was taken in the streets behind the Sofitel Plaza on West Lake.
.
On the right: Again the traditional and the modern. A Chinese-style gate and a modern repairman. |  | |
The sun setting over West Lake was one of the pleasures of staying at the Sofitel Plaza. . The Tran Quoc Pagoda was on the spit of land tounched by the setting sun's reflection. Please see my Tran Quoc Pagoda travelogue for more. |

| Pros: | "Cooler weather, saner traffic, the old buildings and temples." | | Cons: | "More political, still crazy traffic -- less friendly than HCMC" | | In A Nutshell: | "Visit for a good contrast to the south of Vietnam." |
