Why not go that little bit further and have a truly different experience? India is really cheap to get to (air asia from KL into trichy is about $120) and you will be overwhelmed by the experience in so many ways. It really IS that incredible.
Nepal is also super cheap to get to these days (skyscanner.net is a good site to find cheapies) and you just won't find as nicer people or any more astounding scenery anywhere else - it's truly breathtaking.
Both India and Nepal are VERY cheap place to travel as well.(I live in Nepal regularly for $300 a month)
I love South East Asia and have spent many years living about the place as it's pretty well serviced by my modern day needs. But for feeling like you are in another world, India and Nepal are great close by and cheap options maybe to consider.
The people very friendly at there but dunno much about what's up at there, maybe this link can help you
But a city as Hanoi should have many things to offer depending what kind of traveller you are.
their should be more then enough info to find online about tourist attractions in the city or wider area.
Lavina, thanks for sharing the video
Group 1:
1. The Old Quarter
2. Big church (Nhà Th? L?n)
3. Hoan Kiem Lake (Sword Lake)
4. Ngoc Son Temple
5. Trang Tien Plaza
6. Nhà Hát L?n (Opera House)
These are in one area and considered as the heart center of Hanoi. You can walk or take a xích lô (cyclo)or an electric bus to visit these places. Life in general, especially in late afternoons or at nights in the Old Quarter is very bustle and crowded.
Group 2:
7. Ba Dinh Square - Uncle Ho Mausoleum (visited the dead body of Uncle Ho, the national hero and the place where he lived and worked)
8. One Pillar Pagoda
9. Temple of Literature (the first University)
Group 3:
10. West Lake
11. Tran Quoc Pagoda
12. Quan Thanh Temple
Others:
13.the Vietnam Ethnology museum (STRONGLY RECOMMEND - a place to display/demonstrate life of 54 ethnic groups of Vietnam)
14. Bat Trang pottery village (in the urban area)
15. Duong Lam old ancient village (in Ha Tay, a new extended Hanoi)
16. Thanh Chuong Viet Palace (strongly recommend - a space for Vietnamese culture and Vietnam's ancient houses displayed in details.
You should visit in early summer (April-May) or autumn (late August-October). The weather is very cool.
Hope you will enjoy your trip.
