Dear Jeanie,
It's great to know that you're coming to Viet Nam. Although you can stay in Ha Noi in only one day, I’m sure you can visits the most beautiful destinations here and enjoy the special dishes.

The one-day trip will include three places. First of all, depart from my house, we will go to the Temple of Literature and “Quoc Tu Giam”, which is the first university in Viet Nam. You can see the beautiful sights here and learn about the history. After that, let’s visit Hoan Kiem lake and enjoy the most famous ice-cream in Ha Noi. You can also visit Pen Tower and Ngoc Son temple as well. And the last destination is Old Quarters, which are near Hoan Kiem lake. Here you will enjoy special dishes like shrimps cakes, Pho, Nem,… Visiting 36 old streets, you can buy handicrafts and other traditional things as souvenirs.
