Discover life under the planned economy, the fate(s) of the local people from both sides (the North and the South); and the storey of the unification of Vietnam, a country once divided between the communist and anti-communist, on the brink of the Cold War.
Our “stroll” will last about 3 hours, with a short taxi ride half way through. The aim of my walk is to make you discover specific areas of Hanoi (far away from the tourist's eyes) in the light of aspects of our city's rich history that are rarely touched upon by guidebooks, with in-depth information (history buffs welcome) but in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. A conversation, rather than a lecture!
Places we will visit:
- Cho Gioi area
- Kham Thiem B52 memorial
- Hanoi Train Street
Note: 20% of the profit will be donated to the Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin and Blue Dragon Children's Foundation in Hanoi.
