This 96-page book offers an experts guide to Hanoi, with nine city tours and six excursions to help you make the most of your visit. Few cities anywhere in Asia can wink seductively at a traveller as can Hanoi, with its worn but experienced French charm and a long, rich history. Nine city tours explore the political and cultural capital of Vietnam, from the Old Quarter to the French Quarter, from ancient pagodas to luxury hotels. Six excursions take in some of the highlights of Northern Vietnam, including a cruise on a Chinese junk and a visit to the Perfume Pagoda. The guidebook also includes a chapter detailing Vietnam's history and culture, as well as leisure-time suggestions and a comprehensive information section packed with essential contact addresses and numbers. Plus dozens of full-colour photographs and maps, including a pull-out map, which is clearly marked with all the tours and excursions.
