Ha Noi is beautiful........
especially in autumn
chingy
both city are polluted but Hanoi weather is better than Saigon, they actually have 4 season. I have driven a convertible car during autumn (fall) season and it is gorgeous. it is something you cannot do in Saigon for any season.

I think for 2 reasons:

1. Hanoi has less population than Saigon
2. Hanoi economy is not as strong as Saigon. Hence, Hanoian do not have high consumer power to buy motorbikes or cars like people in Saigon do

I'm pretty sure VN has a better environemnt in the 80's, 90's than now since most people could only afford to buy a bicycle for transportation.

yeah. I love Hanoi's sping as well. This is the most colourful season. The winter is the ugliest, no snow, but low-quality air.

it just like how Nguyen Binh described it

Hà Nội Ba mươi sáu phố phường
by Nguyễn Bính

Hà nội ba mươi sáu phố phường,
Ḷng chàng có để một tơ vương.
Chàng qua chiều ấy qua chiều khác,
Góp lại đường đi: vạn dặm đường.

Nhà ấy h́nh như có mặt trời,
Có rừng có suối có hoa tươi,
Bao nhiêu chim lạ, bao nhiêu bướm,
Không, có ǵ đâu! Có một người.

Chân bước khoan khoan, ḷng hỏi ḷng:
-Có nên qua đấy nữa hay không?
Không nên qua đấy, nên qua đấy?
Không, nhớ làm sao! qua, mất công.

Có một chiều kia anh chàng si
Đến đầu phố ấy bỗng ngừng đi,
-Hai bên hàng phố h́nh như họ...
Đi măi đi hoài có nghĩa chi!

Đem bao hi vọng lúa ra đi,
Chuốc lấy buồn thương lúc trở về.
Ḷng mỗi lần đi lần băo táp,
Mỗi lần là một cuộc phân li.

Chàng đau đớn lắm, môi cắn môi,
Răng cắn vào răng, lời nghẹn lời:
-Hờ hững làm sao! Mê đắm quá!
Trời ơi! Cứu vớt lấy tôi, trời!

Chao ơi! Yêu có ông trời cản!
yêu có ông trời khoá được chân!
Chàng lại đi về qua phố ấy,
Mấy mười lần nữa và vân vân.

Chàng đi đi măi, đi đi măi,
Đến một chiều kia, đến một chiều
Phố ấy đỏ bừng lên: xác pháo.
yêu là như thế! Thế là yêu!

Hà Nội ba mươi sáu phố phường,
Ḷng chàng đă dứt một tơ vương,
Chàng qua chiều ấy qua chiều khác,
-Có một người đi giữa đám tang


beautiful as dreams
my uncle went there and this was his comment
"the people were rude, selfish, arrogant, pushy
the traffic was crazy
but the city itself is beautiful......."
XigonCongchua
just curious ~ does Hanoi have Mai blossom?
