*" ... you not only enjoy the sweetness of present moments ... but you also appreciate the bitterness of history."* *SO deep!* THAT is why I love your vlog SO much.

@Tran Duy Pollution is everywhere in major cities. Sadly, It is part of the human condition. I lived in New York City, and Guangzhou, China. In the NYC subway system, you could often see rats as large as housecats just FEET from you. In Guangzhou, it could be so smoggy, you could stare right at the sun without sunglasses. It just is what it is. But, like anywhere else in the world, you have to look past that, do your best not to contribute to the problem(s), and find the good where you are. It is sad that you found no good there in that historic city. But, as this video shows, Hanoi, like NYC or Guangzhou, has much to offer, from history, to culture, to food. You just have to look beyond the big city issues and embrace the good.
Big fan of Vietnamese cuisine and coffee. I think your video is very helpful for the tourists who’re seeking for some local recommendations, like that egg coffee, I’m gonna definitely make it a stop along the trip in Hanoi. Vietnam’s cuisine is a perfect mix of eastern cuisine and western cuisine, which perfectly reflects Vietnamese wisdom and uniqueness. Keep up the good work :)
I have invited to Hanoi for the last VESAK DAY 2022, at Ba Vang Pagoda. And Vietnamese Buddhists let us visit HANOI and some places including Ha Long Bay. I love Vietnam.
I recently visited Saigon, and completely fell in love with Vietnam, I can't wait to Visit Hanoi! Thanks for this video, I'm really excited to visit now. Also to all those planning to visit Vietnam, please do so, people are very nice and helpful there, food is great! I had wonderful experience

After two years (due to pandemic), I finally was able to travel back to Hanoi this month. And twice, back-to-back! I have a project at Hoan Kiem Lake (Four Seasons) and in Ha Long Bay (Intercontinental). I always enjoy the food, coffee and sights of Hanoi! I know that Pho 10 place so well; in fact, I took my Vietnamese friend from Saigon for dinner there. He was impressed!
This is most beautiful, I have just found you here and now I find this a very intriguing to learn more about Vietnam. I have been close to a family in the United States for almost 20 years and they have tried patiently to teach me about your culture,
I have enjoyed my visits to Hanoi. The Temple of Literature was one of my favorite places to walk around and explore. Hoam Kiem Lake is a wonderful place to spend a day! I highly recommend the water puppet show and taking in a show at the Old Opera House!
Recently discovered your channel. You know you're doing a good job when your content is loved by tourists, expats, locals AND the Vietnamese diaspora. If I ever see you in Tay Ho I'm gonna yell out What the Pho :D
My fav is sidewalk beer stall, either the one near Hanoi gate or another one opposite shark jaw building. People watching is super fun especially on football match evenings!
I'm a Vietnamese living in Saigon since born. I've always thought I would travel to provinces which have natural scenes only. But this video makes me want to fly to Hanoi right away because of how charming its old beauty is. ❤
I'm a country man in the USA that doesn't even like cities but after seeing this place I would enjoy just walking around looking and eating and eating. LOL
Hi Van ! My name is Don I love to visit Ha Noi since I see your video today. I plan to go in December around Christmas time. If I go there could we meet up and could you show me around Ha Noi ? Right now I’m living in California city of San Jose please let me know if you could ok 👍 Thank you !
@@kevinward7498 if you're an American countryman, then may I suggest that if you are in Ha Noi one day, then go to the mountainous Tay Bac (northwest) region of VN, towards the China border. This region has many different ethnics, and it has some of the most amazing lush landscapes and vegetation, and cultures, you don't see anywhere in the world. Even for Vietnamese, going to this region is a unique experience, and for Westerners, it's like straight out of Hollywood Vietnam war movies stuff
@@WanderingSword I'm subscribed to numerous Vietnamese who are probably in this area you describe. They live off the land and build all sorts of things out of bamboo and other things. I also like to build things out of bamboo... and live off the land. I've seen a little of the beautiful land through their videos. It's the cheapest fastest safest way to travel, but not as good as actually going. Thanks for the suggestion.
As a Viet person living in the UK and left Hanoi at the age of 6, thank you so much for making these videos. I remember some of these places, and your videos are always so nostalgic and informative! I hope to be able to go back to Vietnam on holiday soon :)
Thank you for a great video. I am a teacher and I used your video to help my Vietnamese student that is 9 years old who is doing a summer program for her school being a tour guide in Hanoi. Not really a tour guide but she has to talk to tourists around the city in English giving them information about the Hanoi, especially the lake. Thanks so much, she really paid attention, listened to your clear English, and learned some new things about Hanoi. She can't completely understand everything but she is getting more confident!
Love your vlogs. Vietnamese cuisine is one of the absolute best in the world 🤤 Love all of it. Hard to decide whats the best really. Goi Cuon is great, made it for my moms birthday with a lot of guests being there and everybody loved it. Was a lot of work though lol. Pho is perfect before or after a night out. Ah really cant decide 🤷♂Nice itinarary. Brings back memories. Gotta go again not been to HCM City yet so thats definitely on the list next time. Thanks for the tips and videos. much appreciated. YOu present it in such an enjoyable way. Great presentation skills btw.
Thank you so much! I am talking to some Vietnamese colleague online and they were telling to visit Hanoi, and your video is just perfect! Bcoz I now know where I can visit in Hanoi when I am there! Thanks!
This was so good and informative. I am going to Viet Nam for 23 days in July, and it's absolutely amazing with these kinds of short and to the point videos, so I can see as much as possible nha. Most of my friends there are in the middle or south, Da Nang, Nha Trang, HCM etc, so even better. Cam on, em oi.
Due to unforeseen circumstances I haven’t go back to Vietnam since 2019. I miss all fun activities in VN. It’s time for me to hit the road. Hello from Chicago, USA 🇺🇸
I am a 74 year old american veteran. the vietnamese people will always have my full RESPECT. you are a very intelligent and well spoken young lady, all my love
Great piece! An excellent summary. Fortunately I have gotten to spend over a week in Hanoi with family and friends who speak Vietnamese. Fabulous food and coffee-Bun Cha...so glad my wife knows how to make it-and it wows our dinner guests!!!
When you visit Hanoi city, in case you have no idea for where to go/eat, you can book free tour guide (in some clubs where almost guides are students and they mainly want to practice English) they know well about foods and tourist attractions here.
Thanks for this video, perfectly fit on our situation, we are mostly working on weekdays and can only explore on weekend..Will definetely try this when going there next week.
Van, thanks for the video and it shows you include a little of everything that for tourist to learn a little about Vietnam/Hanoi but also for Vietnamese. I left Vietnam as a little kid so I do not know much about Vietnamese history like which building or university was orignally in Hanoi. You have a quick learning system especially language that you can sharpen your English for just a 7 years in the US, sadly there are many people that spent 20 years here in the US and still speak broken English...I am not dissing them just that they might not have time to go to school and try to earn a living first. I never been in Hanoi hopefully when the pandemic is completely over I will visit my home country (US is my home country as well). Keep going with whatever you are doing right now.
I am Japanese. In 2019, I studied abroad in Hanoi University, when I was colleague student. Hanoi is really fascinating city! Hanoi had an abundant history, delicious food, and nice people. I want to visit Hanoi once again someday. And during my stay, I ate both of pho and bun cha. I love both of them, but honestly I prefer pho. But my Vietnamese friend said that she prefer bun cha, and pho is a little bit overrated.

First, I’d like to say that her video is superb. She puts do much effort in it and she’s my favorite youtuber. Second, for anyone who learns English through her video, when she talks about the walking street, she says: in the weekend, but it should have been on/at.

Your illustration really could help tourists understand local culture and custom about food,but in the meanwhile , there is something i really feel very hard to change it,the taste about the veggies,i usually leave them on the dinner table.
I am from Malaysia. Last week I went to Hanoi. I love Vietnamese culture very much, I went to Halong bay. Fantastic! But in Hanoi, a bit hard to find Vietnamese halal restaurant. Vu, can you please make a video where is Halal restaurant in Hanoi?

Nice and informative video. Such content will help foreigners know the country better. Especially the history part which is interesting. Hope to more of these.👍🏻
Amazing. Lives in Hanoi for 1 year. You ever go Ba Vi park? Old French mountain retreat in the hills . Nice drive out when it’s hot as a lot cooler up there
Such a beautiful and informative vlog, and it is a joy to watch. I love Hanoi to the max - the culture, history, people, way of life, and certainly the pho. Yes, it is delightfully delicious. I am definitely coming back to Hanoi again :)
When you mentioned condensed milk during the war reminds me of a story my mom told me that when my uncle, her younger brother, was a baby/toddler he was given sweetened condense milk back then. She never told me why, but now I'm thinking it's because it lasted longer. 😔
Condense milk is the poor man's way of making milk and feeding it to their kids. Real milk are more expensive n a luxury to have. Plus shelf life is longer kept since it is in a tin can. They were popular during the flight of the boat people after the war. The authorities would watch which family be buying more than enough like in bulk and they would watch them. There is only one reason why someone would buy in bulk. They are storing it for a run as boat people. My family bought small to stay under the radar. However, we have many people so each bought small quantity, when added together, it will be a bulk order. We would hid it out there in a bunker underneath the beach sand. When the time comes and in the middle of the night, we make a run for it. Our elders, if they are still living will drink the condense milk with hot water mix or we put the condense milk onto a French bread and eat it like that. It's culture.
From what I remember, Temple of Literature was built in 1070 during Ly's dynasty, not Tran. Anyway, still love your video. Hope that I will have a change to visit Hanoi in the near future 😍😍
We were there last April 3-8 and have been to those places & also to Hanlong Bay & Hang Mua. We had fun & enjoyed our stay there. Incidentally, we also try the pho which Barak Obama tried in a popular restaurant there.👍👌😊 We are from the Philippines, by the way.
What an amazing guiding video! Everything is introduced in great details and in a very friendly way. This is definitely what tourists need to fully explore our capital city. Even though I live in Hanoi, I haven't even tried most of the things that are suggested in the video, I think I should do it some day 😅. Anyway, there's still a small misinformation. The first university in Vietnam is the Imperial Academy(Quốc Tử Giám), not the the Temple of Literature(Văn Miếu). As they're located in the same place and together they make a complex, people are often confused between the two. But Văn Miếu is actually just a temple, it is Quốc Tử Giám that was truly the first university in our country

I Love Bun Cha Ha Noi . The light fish sauce mixed is more like a soup, not a dipping sauce. So far, could not find a Vietnamese restaurant in the U.S. that has a similar dish. It will always be my first meal when I am in HN. BTW, after COVID lock down, glad to see folks are back around Hoàn Kiếm Lake.
I have tried phở at 10 Lý Quốc Sư. Unfortunately, I got a severe allergy due to the large amount of MSG that they have used in the broth. However, I would never miss bún chả Hàng Mành. I used to walk at night and picked up one of the ice cream on Tràng Tiền. Also bánh cuốn bà Hoằnh.
Thank you for sharing this video. I will be in Hanoi very soon and your recommendations are definitely going into my list of go to. Hope you can show more good food places that offer low carb dishes.
You should try Indian food sometime and make a vedio on it...i would love to see your reaction on it. In viatnam, there is restaurant named ''ganesha restaurant'' which serves Indian food.
I just returned from Hanoi and I actually followed most of your suggestions...no regrets lol It was very handy information and made me enjoy Hanoi much more. I ate tons of Bun Cha and pho, the egg coffee was delicious, but I was not impressed by the coconut coffee. Thank you for sharing. Ah, I was there during the Seagames and it was fun 🤗🤗🤗
I'm an American-born Viet and have visited VN a few times in my life and although most of my friends only visit the South, I mustered up the courage to venture up North two time and I must have to say I like it much much more than the South for many resaons!!! Perhaps it's in my DNA since I'm told my family origins are actually "Bac-54" which I'm sure you know what that means... Either way, your personality & knowledge shines in your vids, keep up the good work ;-)
Hi Vanvu I just found your chanel and it's fantastic. I'm visiting Hanoi for 2 weeks probably in October. I'm spending a month in the Phillipines in September visiting a couple of friends one lives in Cebu and the other in Dumaguete. He's married to a filipina and they have a condo they rent to tourists and visitors so I'll stay with them. The friend in Cebu lived in Vietnam before moving to Cebu and is a big fan of the food, history and culture.He visits Hanoi every 6 months for visa purposes. He's recommended the Manor 2 and can get me a good rate. That's where I'll probably stay. I found your what to do in 1 day guide very useful and informative having 14 days to explore will be awesome. I'm a coffee lover and love asian cuisine. I like watching you eat you certainly love food!😁. Could I ask a slightly personal question? How do you eat and stay so slim? Me? I can gain a kilo just by reading the menu to decide what to eat😊. Your vlogs have given me some ideas of things to do and see so thanks for that. I'll certainly be seeing some more of them before I arrive. I think I may book a local guide for one or two days to show me around help me learn a few basic phrases and pronunciation. I've travelled a lot and find locals are far more helpful and friendly if you try to speak their language. Can you recommend any tourist guides? Thanks again for a great chanel. Steve
We had gone to the Cha Ca. It is as best in my life any fish I had eat till date. Thanks for suggesting this place and all my travel has been based on your itinerary.
Would it be possible to show us the different herbs and veggies used in Vietnamese cuisine ? To me they look different from other cuisines. Thanks in advance.
You need 48 hours in Saigon You got turtle lake Notre Dame Cathedral Reunification palace War Remnants Museum Post Office and send a letter Go Shopping at different market Go to shopping mall, like Saigon Square, Diamond Plaza, Aeon Mall…and much more Bitexco Tower Walking Street of Bui Vien and Nguyen Hue Starlight bridge in District 7 The Zoo Dam Sen Park
Bun Cha in Hanoi was my second favorite - after Cao Lau in Hoi An :D Can you explain why the Bun Cha portions are soo big? I could never eat all of it, most of the spring rolls stayed untouched.

This is truely like 1980’s Canton. Wow! Full of beautiful scenes and memories.
Nice and informative video. Such content will help foreigners know the country better. Especially the history part which is interesting. Hope to more of these.👍🏻
Yeah, thank you so much!
I never been to Hanoi, I hope one day we can meet up for lunch or dinner. Love all your video, especially the final soccer game between Thai & vietnam
I’m going to Hanoi and stay for a couple of day in June, can’t wait to check out all these places. Congrats on the 100k subbies 🥰
I have been to Hanoi. I fell in love with Vietnam
I really enjoy your videos, unfortunately I had to leave Da Nang last week, couldn’t get my visa extended.
Amazing. Lives in Hanoi for 1 year. You ever go Ba Vi park? Old French mountain retreat in the hills . Nice drive out when it’s hot as a lot cooler up there
I just came back from Hanoi and I loved it🇻🇳❤️👍🏼
Oh yeah, thank you. And i love u 🤩
We're heading back to Vietnam in three days, and your video has us even more excited to visit! Hanoi is one of our favorite cities in the world. 🥰
Wow I was feeling overwhelmed trying to plan my week in HaNoi. This is so perfect. Thank you! Please do more videos like these!
Vietnamese foods very healthy, light and delicious with good combination of their local vegies.!
Hanoi is definitely in my bucket list of places to visit. Thanks for sharing Pho.
a great channel for Vietnamese who want to learn English through travelling👍
Such a beautiful and informative vlog, and it is a joy to watch. I love Hanoi to the max - the culture, history, people, way of life, and certainly the pho. Yes, it is delightfully delicious. I am definitely coming back to Hanoi again :)
Here's a restored film of the Hanoi family singers th-cam.com/video/ThBNOj6uR5Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uhP4ejKOAYYkd6YK
i like your chanel! you are symbol of Vietnamese young generation..
I was in Hanoi this past June, and tried chả cá. That was pretty good.
Great content. Visiting Hanoi for the first time next week, can't wait.
When you mentioned condensed milk during the war reminds me of a story my mom told me that when my uncle, her younger brother, was a baby/toddler he was given sweetened condense milk back then. She never told me why, but now I'm thinking it's because it lasted longer. 😔
I know, that's why you can taste the sweetness of the condensed milk and the bitterness of the history :)
Condense milk is the poor man's way of making milk and feeding it to their kids. Real milk are more expensive n a luxury to have. Plus shelf life is longer kept since it is in a tin can. They were popular during the flight of the boat people after the war. The authorities would watch which family be buying more than enough like in bulk and they would watch them. There is only one reason why someone would buy in bulk. They are storing it for a run as boat people. My family bought small to stay under the radar. However, we have many people so each bought small quantity, when added together, it will be a bulk order. We would hid it out there in a bunker underneath the beach sand. When the time comes and in the middle of the night, we make a run for it. Our elders, if they are still living will drink the condense milk with hot water mix or we put the condense milk onto a French bread and eat it like that. It's culture.
From what I remember, Temple of Literature was built in 1070 during Ly's dynasty, not Tran. Anyway, still love your video. Hope that I will have a change to visit Hanoi in the near future 😍😍
We were there last April 3-8 and have been to those places & also to Hanlong Bay & Hang Mua. We had fun & enjoyed our stay there. Incidentally, we also try the pho which Barak Obama tried in a popular restaurant there.👍👌😊
We are from the Philippines, by the way.
Finally lol I have been waiting for another Vietnam vlog 🙋🏽♀️
Haha here you go! Thanks for watching☺️
Wow. I would love to go back to Vietnam someday. The culture and people are different, even though I live close to Phuoc Loc Tho in Santa Ana.
What an amazing guiding video! Everything is introduced in great details and in a very friendly way. This is definitely what tourists need to fully explore our capital city. Even though I live in Hanoi, I haven't even tried most of the things that are suggested in the video, I think I should do it some day 😅. Anyway, there's still a small misinformation. The first university in Vietnam is the Imperial Academy(Quốc Tử Giám), not the the Temple of Literature(Văn Miếu). As they're located in the same place and together they make a complex, people are often confused between the two. But Văn Miếu is actually just a temple, it is Quốc Tử Giám that was truly the first university in our country
I will be in Ha Noi in 5 weeks. Thanks for the extra info.
Oh, cảm ơn thông tin của bạn. Đúng là mình đã sơ suất chỗ này. Sẽ rút kinh nghiệm để những video tiếp theo được chỉn chu nhất! Chúc bạn sẽ có những trải nghiệm tuyệt vời nhé🤗
@@WhatThePho Ôi ko ngờ đc chị rep cmt! Chị làm video hay lắm ạ, em rất thích content của chị. Chúc chị nhiều sức khỏe và sẽ làm thêm nhiều video hay hơn nữa. Thật ra thông tin này cx ko quá quan trọng đâu ạ, dù sao thì chị cũng đã giới thiệu về khu Văn Miếu - Quốc Tử Giám, đó mới là điều đáng lưu tâm 😊
This girl end it with see you in Saigon. Bring tears to my eyes.
I visited Hanoi back in 2017 and this brings back memories. I’d love to visit again one day! Great video!!
Hope to see you soon🥰🥰
Những chưng trình bạn làm rất hay. Giúp cho rất nhiều người trên thế giới biết đến văn hóa và ẩm thực của việt nam . Những người việt nam nên giúp cô ấy phát triển kênh tốt hơn để nhiều người trên khắp thế giới biết đến văn hóa và ẩm thực của việt nam!!!
Cảm ơn sự ủng hộ của bạn rất nhiều!!!
I Love Bun Cha Ha Noi . The light fish sauce mixed is more like a soup, not a dipping sauce. So far, could not find a Vietnamese restaurant in the U.S. that has a similar dish. It will always be my first meal when I am in HN.
BTW, after COVID lock down, glad to see folks are back around Hoàn Kiếm Lake.
Thanks for sharing! Hope to see you soon in Vietnam☺️
Amazing video by Ms. Van Vu. I agree with you. Bun cha is one of the best dishes from Vietnam.
Thank you!
I have tried phở at 10 Lý Quốc Sư. Unfortunately, I got a severe allergy due to the large amount of MSG that they have used in the broth. However, I would never miss bún chả Hàng Mành. I used to walk at night and picked up one of the ice cream on Tràng Tiền. Also bánh cuốn bà Hoằnh.
I just moved to Hanoi and your channel is very helpful! Loved this video
Thank you for sharing this video. I will be in Hanoi very soon and your recommendations are definitely going into my list of go to. Hope you can show more good food places that offer low carb dishes.
The little kids setting eating ice cream. So cute. Love it
You should try Indian food sometime and make a vedio on it...i would love to see your reaction on it. In viatnam, there is restaurant named ''ganesha restaurant'' which serves Indian food.
As mentioned before, Hanoi is in the list of my next 5 destinations....... Stay safe and take care out there....
See you soon in Hanoi!😄
Hi Van , thanks for yr video.The one day short trip was so impressive which related to the delicious food and culture heritages.
Thanks for watching!!!
I suggest the lowering of the flag in the evening. Where uncle Ho lays in state. Check for time
This comes so in handy because I will be in Hanoi next week and I needed some suggestions. Thank you.
I’m glad my content is helpful for you!!!
I just returned from Hanoi and I actually followed most of your suggestions...no regrets lol
It was very handy information and made me enjoy Hanoi much more. I ate tons of Bun Cha and pho, the egg coffee was delicious, but I was not impressed by the coconut coffee. Thank you for sharing. Ah, I was there during the Seagames and it was fun 🤗🤗🤗
I'm an American-born Viet and have visited VN a few times in my life and although most of my friends only visit the South, I mustered up the courage to venture up North two time and I must have to say I like it much much more than the South for many resaons!!! Perhaps it's in my DNA since I'm told my family origins are actually "Bac-54" which I'm sure you know what that means... Either way, your personality & knowledge shines in your vids, keep up the good work ;-)
Còn 1 món ngon khác mà ở các vùng khác không thể bằng hà nội đó là bún đậu mắm tôm. Thực sự nó rất đặc biệt.
Bình thường thôi có gì mà tung hô ghê vậy
@@haianhtran2953 bình thường thôi mà. Việc gì phải sân si cay cú thế. 😒
Congrats for the 100,000 sub, Van! You made it!
Thanks for your support!!!
Hi Vanvu
I just found your chanel and it's fantastic.
I'm visiting Hanoi for 2 weeks probably in October. I'm spending a month in the Phillipines in September visiting a couple of friends one lives in Cebu and the other in Dumaguete. He's married to a filipina and they have a condo they rent to tourists and visitors so I'll stay with them.
The friend in Cebu lived in Vietnam before moving to Cebu and is a big fan of the food, history and culture.He visits Hanoi every 6 months for visa purposes. He's recommended the Manor 2 and can get me a good rate. That's where I'll probably stay.
I found your what to do in 1 day guide very useful and informative having 14 days to explore will be awesome.
I'm a coffee lover and love asian cuisine.
I like watching you eat you certainly love food!😁.
Could I ask a slightly personal question?
How do you eat and stay so slim? Me? I can gain a kilo just by reading the menu to decide what to eat😊.
Your vlogs have given me some ideas of things to do and see so thanks for that. I'll certainly be seeing some more of them before I arrive.
I think I may book a local guide for one or two days to show me around help me learn a few basic phrases and pronunciation. I've travelled a lot and find locals are far more helpful and friendly if you try to speak their language. Can you recommend any tourist guides?
Thanks again for a great chanel.
Steve
We had gone to the Cha Ca. It is as best in my life any fish I had eat till date. Thanks for suggesting this place and all my travel has been based on your itinerary.
Would it be possible to show us the different herbs and veggies used in Vietnamese cuisine ?
To me they look different from other cuisines.
Thanks in advance.
Great idea!!! I noted down and will do it in the future🤗 Thank you!
Technically the name cha ca means grilled fish.
Same as bun cha where we grill the meat.
But good content as always, made me miss my hometown.
Pho 10 def the best pho k ever had. Nice and crisp. With some chilis and you are good to go
If I'd have a chance to go for a day trip in Hanoi, I'd love to be with you. Just kidding. Great Hanoi history indeed! love it
Cảm ơn bạn đã giới thiệu những điều tốt đẹp của đất nước tôi đến mọi người… thanks

Bun Cha in Hanoi was my second favorite - after Cao Lau in Hoi An :D Can you explain why the Bun Cha portions are soo big? I could never eat all of it, most of the spring rolls stayed untouched.
Thank you for all your videos
Very beautiful city ❤️👍🏻
You eat every hour or something, you have only one day! love your adventures
