Hanoi
Breezy wind is the most blessed thing can be called in Hanoi these days though the cloud may not be very pleasant. A photo trip around the famous Hoan Kiem Lake, which is always crowded with people taking photos for ones’ memorable or even wedding pictures, remains the popular choice. However, early morning wind is cold enough to make people wearing a light coat and sudden rain may stop people from going out at night.
