A nighttime tourism programme to discover the Ngoc Son temple on Hoan Kiem Lake, downtown Hanoi, debuted at a ceremony on January 31.

As well as traditional treats, such as cốm làng Vòng (Vòng Village’s green sticky rice) and phu thê (husband and wife) cakes, Hanoi is well known for its bánh chả (sweet meat pie in lumps) which is hundreds of years old.

The 19th-century statue revered at the Co Loa Special National Relic has many never-before-seen unique cultural, historical, and art values.

A long history, enchanting scenery, decadent cuisine, and diverse entertainment activities are the reasons that make the iconic Hanoi Lake a favorite destination for all visitors, both local and international.
