Hanoi , the capital of Vietnam, is an elegant city located on the banks of the Red River. The city is very quiet due to the peace that the Hoan Kiem Lake, located in the center, gives it. North of the lake, you’ll find the bustling streets of Casco Viejo. Each street is named after the different shops to which the stores located there are dedicated. Much of the city was transformed by the French when it became a French protectorate in 1880.

There are wide avenues and large colonial buildings from that French era, which are now home to government departments and foreign embassies . The inhabitants rose up and fought a long fight with the French until 1954, the year in which Hanoi became the capital par excellence. Years later the war between the US and Vietnam began, which would last until 1975 , the year in which the Americans withdrew.
