You
will likely be tendering in Halong Bay, which is a 3 to 4 hour drive from
Hanoi. The drive is on bumpy roads
through villages and scenic rice fields.
Halong Bay itself is beautiful.
Take a junk boat for a trip around the bay; the junk boats come right up
to the Millennium, making transport easier. From some reviews I've read, many take an overnight luxury junk boat cruise in the Bay. This is a good internet café near
the tender dock. Click here for a beautiful Youtube video of Halong Bay.
If
you opt to go to Hanoi, here are some of the sights to see.
Ho
Chi Minh Mausoleum - View the changing of the guard at noon. Nearby is the
Presidential Palace built in 1901 for the French Governor.
Shop
in the Old Quarter for souvenirs.
For
those who were in the Vietnam War, go to the Ho Chi Minh Trail Museum to learn
what the North Vietnamese were doing.
