“Cultural treats in the friendly capital of Vietnam
include the highly popular Water Puppet Show which displays ancient
fables with an impressive display of lighting, song and dance,” the site
writes about Vietnam’s capital.
The website
highlights a series of things to do in the city, including shopping for
shoes, souvenirs and traditional medicinal oils in the Old Quarter,
having suits and dresses tailored at one of Hanoi’s world famous
tailoring shops, hanging around brightly-lit Hoan Kiem Lake in the
evenings, and visiting the Ho Chi Minh Complex.
It
praises Hanoi’s cuisine, saying that “eating in Hanoi’s street kitchens
is a fun and off-beat way to truly experience the culture of communal
dining that’s so typical of the locals.”
The other
nine cities on the list are Chiang Mai in Thailand, Kathmandu in Nepal,
Udaipur in India, Berlin in Germany, Prague in the Czech Republic,
Florence in Italy, Melbourne in Australia, Amman in Jordan and Marrakesh
in Morocco.
Last year, Hanoi ranked second on the website Trip Advisor’s list of the 50 cheapest cities for travelers in the world.-VNA
