Long Bien bridge 

Referring to the most beautiful reed meadow in Hanoi, people will probably immediately think of the vast reed field at the foot of the hundred-year-old Long Bien Bridge. This field of reed covers the fertile alluvial soil along the banks of the Red River. 

Just standing on the bridge, one can admire the beauty of the vast reed field underneath. This reed meadow is located in Bai Giua - the name of the alluvial strip emerging in the middle of the Red River. To come here to take pictures, you can go from Long Bien market, or go along Long Bien bridge, and in the middle of the bridge there will be an iron staircase to go down.

Skydiving Hill 833 

Located in Nui Be hamlet, Nam Phuong Tien commune, Chuong My district, this site is a familiar address for Northern pilots, but for young people, this is a rather new destination. 

Located on an altitude of 655m with gentle terrain, this is the home to reeds up to 1.5m high. However, this place is quite far from the center of Hanoi and you have to pass a bumpy road of about 6km long.

Red River rocks 

Located at the end of lane 264 Au Co Street, less than 30 minutes by motorbike from the center of Hanoi, the Red River rock field is peaceful, in contrast to the hustle and bustle of the streets. It has long been a "check-in place" in the changing seasons for young people.
