Hanoi

Opera House — Hanoi

The Hanoi Opera House is a beautiful example of French architecture. It was modeled after the Palais Garnier in Paris and built during the French Colonial occupation of Vietnam starting in 1901.

In the heart of West Lake in Hanoi there is a well known lovely temple on an Island. Quanh Thanh Temple cast amazing reflections in the lake and a great source of photographs around sunrise and sunset.

Lenin Park

Lenin Park is near the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum area and a very popular place to visit. There are little cars for children to rent and of course a statue of Lenin.

Street Photography — Hanoi

Hanoi has to be the best city in Vietnam for treet photography. The old quarter, Hoa Kiem lake, and the streets around them are great starting points. I tend to find a good scene and just wait for life to pass in front of it.
