Local Customs: Gravestones
  • Tip Rating:
  • In Hang Bac street, in the Old Quarter, you will find many little shops where artisans carve handmade gravestones with images of the deceased in it.
    I found it rather peculiar, as we only use to put names and dates in our gravestones in Spain.

    Local Customs: Life around the lake
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you take a walk around the Hoan Kiem lake you will see a very interesting aspect of Hanoi everyday life. In the morning and in the evening you can see people jogging, doing TaiChi slow exercises, chatting on the benches...
    ...or just sitting there on their pijamas, with that pleasant rural relaxed atmosphere, doing nothing, watching the time go by, like the old man in the pic :-)
