Hanoi Highlights

I swinged by to Hanoi for a few days for a business trip two weeks ago, but I did extend another day to explore the area. Such perfect chance, so how to give that up? Some photos below...


View of Hotel Intercontinental Westake from my room. It was a rainy day that day, thus the dark sky. It was only 18 degree outside! Yet, the view was a treat!


The seducing view at nightfall... The serenity is so different from the busy main Hanoi city.


The busy traffic at the intersection of Old Quarter. Traffic is a real nightmare there, not to mention the air and noise pollution!


The entrance to Ngoc Son Temple at Hoan Kiem Lake. You need to pay to get in - VND10k, i.e. S$1.


Oh well, the incense urn outside the temple. Just feel it's a piece of art by itself.


One scenery taken while we were touring the famous Halong Bay.


Isn't this pic arty farty? Taken at Intercontinental again.
