     Tourism is relatively new in Hanoi, beginning in 1993 fueling the city's growth to an enticing Asian city. This change increased the fusion between traditional values and modern influences from dives to luxury restaurants, modest markets to huge supermarkets and exquisite shops and on.

     But the march of progress has hardly reshaped Hanoi's Asian feel, which is rooted in its past days. Established in 1010, Hanoi became a powerhouse of the Indochina Union under French rule and in 1954 was given the status of the official capital of independent Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh was designated the first Vietnamese president who led the foundation of the cityscape of Hanoi. Today those initial smaller buildings sit in the shadow of modern high-rises blending with massive French residences from past days.

Attractions include;

- One-Pillar Pagoda, charming construction based in water

- Fine Arts Museum, an interesting museum with wonderful pictures of soldiers and art of the 20th century wars.
