Hanoi in the autumn

Hanoi on my mind
I have traveled to Hanoi many times but it was the first time I went to Hanoi in the autumn, the best season in Vietnam. Some of my friends said that Hanoi is one of the most modern city in Vietnam, of course I agreed with their ideas, but I also realize that Hanoi still keeps and remains its outstanding cultural features. My one day tour approved my point.
My tour in Hanoi started by a visit the Temple of Literature known as the first university in Vietnam. I touched on the heads of turtles like many Vietnamese people with the hope of receiving luckiness, success in career. it was very interesting. Then I had a chance to visit One Pillar Pagoda and Quan Thanh Pagoda which are the oldest pagodas in Vietnam. Part from the bustle and hustle outside, I could enjoy the quite and peaceful atmosphere here. If I hadn't experienced myself, I wouldn't have imagined that there were such a wonderful atmosphere in the center of the capital like that. After having lunch and taking a short nap, my tour continued with other beautiful places such as West Lake, Restored Sword Lake where I heard about the legend of restoring sword. Thanks to my short tour I could broaden my mind, understand more about the traditional features of Hanoi beside its modern life.
And there is another thing I want to share. the Hanoi food is great and cheap. It has special taste. Each street has its specialty. I still regret not staying in Hanoi longer to enjoy all kinds of food here. Yes, certainly I will come back.
