In contrast with Ho Chi Minh city, the weather in Ha Noi is colder. That’s why visitors can easily feel the Christmas atmosphere. Unlike most of Western nations where Christmas is the time for family members gathering, local people here would prefer to flock to the city center to admire festive atmosphere.  

The Big Cathedral and Ham Long Church or 36 Hanoi Old Quarters and shopping mall in city center which are decorated with confetti, brilliant lanterns and sparkling lights, pine tree and snowman, are popular places to visit in Hanoi for Christmas night with local citizens. Besides that, there is also a popular corner with foreigners which called “foreign street”- Ta Hien.  Ta Hien includes many bars and restaurants where guests can sit on the pavement without obstruction, chatting with friends and enjoying some delicious desserts.

Ha Long Bay is always selected as the best destination to visit in the North by tourists. This Bay is one of 7 wonders of nature, recognized 2 times by UNESCO. Filled with stunning nature, wild landscape and the rich culture of the fishing village, the destination easily satisfies all types of tourists. It’s much better to take a boat to a much more remote part of Halong bay for better view. This would be an exciting adventure.
