- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Hanoi is a stop you can't miss when visiting Vietnam. It is the countries capital city and filled to the brim with history, culture, delicious food and the nicest people. Join me and my Dad as we visit some of the top attractions of the city, as well as get a more inside look into how the average person lives here. Oh and of course we had to try the famous restaurant that Anthony Bourdain and Obama went to in Parts Unknown during his Vietnam series. Hope you enjoy it! xx

I'm an American expat who has been living in Hanoi for nearly 4 years. I absolutely love this city and don't plan on ever moving again.
Best city in Asia . Tay ho is a beautiful area to live . I miss the simplicity .
A bit too polluted and too noisy. I got spoiled by the weather and air quality in California. I will check out some APT in Tay Ho or Westlake area. It will take me months to get to know Hanoi.
@@Lee-oq2vy I also prefer more simple and less noisy living. Do you recommend Tay Ho or West Lake? I am looking for a quiet place in Hanoi or near by cities.
@@stanwu3807 tay ho brother . Its a nice mixture of locals and expats . And like 10 15 min away from the old quarter. All you need is a scooter . Everything is close by . All the best mate in the city of peace🙂
What would be the 5 things you could mention to justify your love for Hanoi Living?
When I visited Hanoi 25 years ago, I remember thinking how charming it was - very different from what I expected. On the drive from the airport to city, there were lots of old Colonial French buildings with wrought iron balconies. My favorite area was around West Lake. And crossing the street anywhere in Vietnam was always an adventure!
Qua đường ở VN là một cảm giác mạnh "miễn phí😀" nếu bạn làm theo dân bản địa,ngược lại thì rất có thể bạn phải trả ...phí😀😀😀
Cách giới thiệu rất tự nhiên thân mật,2 cha con có phong cách gần gũi người châu á, chúc mừng chuyến đi tốt đẹp bằng việc thưởng thức món ăn ngon
my dream is to live in vietnam
Hi Alina! I'm very much enjoying your visit and cultural / historical tour of Hanoi! It's also a joy to see you and your dad having a wonderful time together! Love the Obama combo! Your music selection adds much to an already wonderful video. Thanks!!!
I love your Dad !
He cracks me up .
A very nice addition !
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing. The Bun Cha meal definitely looks delicious, yummy!
A yea a trip down memory lane.I landed there back in 1999 My life would never be the same again.Learned to ride a motorcycle and married a Vietnamese women
I like the way foreigners come to Vietnam and learn a bit of Vietnamese history,that really nice
Vietnam will continue to be a third world slum if the people don’t stop throwing trash everywhere.
It's so nice to see you on this adventure with your dad!
Thank you very much Alina for this really beautiful video. You took a long walk through the streets of Hanoi, showing us the beauty of this city, its historical sites, the people and your dad lookef very interested in exploring the city. Great video. Wish you all the best.
FYI the royal citadel of Hanoi was not built by the chinese but by king Ly Thai To at the beginning of the 11th century . He was the one who moved in 1010 the capital from Hoa Lu - NInh Binh to Dai La which used to be only a small fortress under the chinese rule . The kingdom of Dai Viet ( former name of Vietnam ) was already independent of china since 939 . The price of the land in the Old Quarter is artificially inflated by the real estate investors . My cousins used to own 2 semi-detached houses on Hang Trong street ( the Drums street ) , but they sold them 6 years ago to buy 4 much more modern and spacious detached houses outside that dirty ghetto plus a nice condo in HCMC with the money they got . They are now very happy with their new places . For them it was a good decision
Vietnam could be better if the people stopped throwing trash everywhere. I guess throwing garbage everywhere runs deep in the blood from one generation to the next, right? Because the Vietnamese overseas have the same slum mindset; littering everywhere they exist.
Let ' s stop say " China " with Vietnamese ok ?
If you don't understand real and clear about history of Hà Nội,you should learn exactly news from Vietnamese .
@@rubylovelyfromvietnam5522 You are such a big ignorant dude . What I said was written clearly in all Vietnam's history books and based on real facts from Hanoi inhabitants . You should go back to primary school to learn it and do more serious researches about life in Hanoi instead of writing stupid pat answers
@@hungcuongnguyen293 He's been repeating this drivel for over a year in all the Vietnamese videos he watches. He's obsessed with Vietnam and keeps repeating the same stuff over and over again...not sure why he doesn't just move on to videos that make him happier.
Hanoi looks really nice. The historical sites and huge open parks, very lovely. 👍
It really is!
I absolutely enjoyed Hanoi when I visited early in 2019. Seeing my breath in the morning was a nice surprise. I described it as 100 towns switched together, while Saigon was 10 cities stitched together. Saigon wasn't too much my vibe and it was much hotter there. Also visited Da Lat which was fun and relaxing. I can't wait to get back to VN and next time will visit Da Nang as well. - WW
You might enjoy Sa Pa as it's further north...which means colder. Many people love Hoi An, but that might be too warm for you. Hue and Ninh Binh are great (check out the videos from Alright Anton! since he did great drone shots from there). If you're interested in war stuff, get a guided tour like CularTravels (he did the 1/2 day tour but said he should have done the whole day one). Hue is known for it's food, if you can do a food tour, then I'd recommend doing that.
Thank you for another awesome video Alina! Really enjoyed it.... the tour seemed really interesting. Thanks again!
Love your commentaries. Very well-articulated. Glad you’re enjoying Vietnam.
I love hearing from your Dad.
Such a beautiful city! This was a well done video Alina and loved the way the food was presented! 💙
Falling in love all over again in Hanoi, Vietnam! That’s an amazing trip.
I like to try Obama BUN CHA someday, looks delicious.
Happy Alina and Dad. Very beautiful video.
Hey alina McLeod nice tour en Hanoi, Vietnam nice , gente, temperatura fresca , areas Verdes , ciudad , relato historico , restaurante , comida, y vooooos te miras bonita ! comiendo
Learning so much about Vietnam thanks to you Alina...Great viewing..Keep dad away from all those stairs and busy roads 🤣 Love to you both ❤ 💙 🇬🇧
Thanks, Maureen!
your dad is seriously so cute, what a great travel buddy :)
Very informative video~! Your dad's presence and comments add so much to things. I very much enjoy Asian travelogues. Thank you.
So funny i lived in Hanoi for 2+ years and learned from this video. Also it seems you and I are crossing paths or i'm right behind you on my journey. Thanks for great videos!
Thank you. I am impressive by city tour in French quarter. A real life history in Hanoi. Nice!
the description of the hanoi problem is quite short and clear, i like the way you talk 👍👍👍
Hello Alina,
I appreciate Your emotional choice of the music!
Have been to Hanoi. Might I have missed the footage You recorded in the temple in the sea during the livestream?
Obama‘s choice of the menu I also would eat. Some others presidents choice I would reject unconditionally 💙💛
Hope You have seen the image of the 200 000 dong note in Ha Long bay.
Best regards, Ralf
I love your vlogs. You captured so many beautiful angles everywhere you go. I'm from Vietnam but i'd love to see Vietnam through your eyes, it's interesting ❤
Thank you very much!
winter in the North of Vietnam or in Hanoi is obvious, and is a culture that creates a special feature in food, music... in the cold winter.
Alina luôn tươi cười và xinh đẹp, video rất hay. Bạn đã đưa được bố đi du lịch như vậy là điều thật tuyệt vời. Chúc 2 bố con mạnh khỏe, hạnh phúc.
Thank you both for the great video 👌
Interesting, Thailand where Iam right now is so hot and Hanoi is so cold this time of the year, even though it's so close.
You don't think it is possible to get cold in some places but it got real cold when we visited Kennedy Space Center and Busch Gardens near Tampa years ago.
Yeah, that prison is what they called the Hanoi Hilton. 😊👍🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🎄⛄
Thanks for the video, i will be going there soon, You showcase the city well, I love it.
This series is better than your Brazile one, which I though was the best until now. Thanks.
Aw thank you, glad you like it!
Thank you for the lovely video. We don't want to sound like a broken record. You do it so well. A well-informed History Lesson. We enjoyed our time there too. Happy Holidays Guys! We will talk soon. Sending you much love❤❤❤ from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki🌲🌲🌲
Aw thank you very much!
Nice one Alina

Beautiful Video. Thanks for sharing it.
My pleasure!
Just think of this, the North Vietnamese occupied the top half of Vietnam has to deal with invaders (United States, Australia, New Zealand, Republic of (South) Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines) all at the same time. Just think of that, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. if that wasn't bad enough, they have to deal with troops from south Vietnam as well. The North Vietnamese understand the important of independent, self governing, and freedom from slavery and oppression. They were willing to give up everything to fight for it, that is 20 fking years of sacrifice. Prior to that they have to deal with the French, Japanese, Chinese, and the Mongols, totaling nearly 4000 years of war. There were no country on earth with that size, fighting against that number of countries, and still come out on top. And don't forget they're the ones that rescue the Cambodian from the Pol Pot, the Khmer regime when the world completely ignores it. No doubt the North Vietnamese deserves respect.
Bình luận của bạn rất đầy đủ và chính xác!
@@chinhkieu5092 cam on. toi chi not ra su that ma thoi. Thank you. I am only stating the truth... I hope for a chance to visit Vietnam one day.
Also the Dutch and UK as well, but not with North Vietnam, and it dated all the way back in 17th century. Lots of people don’t know that. But anyway you got the point
Love Vietnam, amazing country and people. Foods are so goods, love Bun cha. Nice videos Alina.
Thanks for sharing your video happy to see you and your father in Asia enjoy your time in Vietnam take care bye from miserable day in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
haha thanks, hope it warms up!
If you come to the mausoleum of President Ho Chi Minh early in the morning, you will see the solemn flag raising ceremony or in the evening you will see the flag lowering ceremony, which will be more complete, wish you all happy and safe days in Vietnam!
Very nice video with your dad stay blessed both
Hanoi..ok..i like Hanoi..i from Malaysia..2023 i want visit to Hanoi.. thanks your video... good
Hanoi hotel services and hospitality, so was every else in Vietnam ,was great. We had an extended stay in Hanoi from the tour schedule while staying there. Wow, Your Vietnam history was impressive!.
You do a great job on this video. A lot of details and also its awesome you brought your dad along. TY
Thanks so much!
Hello Alina! love your videos! Edwin here from Albuquerque. I hope you can visit Mew Mexico sometime.. The International Balloon Fiesta is something you should talk about in your videos..
Mùa đông Hà Nội chỉ lạnh khoảng 3 tuần thôi. Chúc hai bố con vui vẻ trong kỳ nghỉ
dốt bình loạn
Actually it is cold in 3 months, not 3 weeks. Hanoi winter period often starts from late of November and very cold during December of previous year to February, even late of March of next year.
In which, the lowest temperatures are at some days in December, January and February. The winter temperatures in Hanoi may drop to 9-10 degrees Celsius and it is called to be deep cold. However, deep cold only lasts about 3-4 days to one week and then, the temperature may rise again at 15-17 degrees Celsius and there may be a few sunny days but still very cold.
3 tháng rét căm căm từ cuối tháng 11 đến tháng 3,sau đó đến tháng 3 Âm lịch khuyến mãi thêm 1 tháng rét Nàng Bân nữa! Rét bình thường khô ráo không sao, nhưng rét + mưa phùn mới làm cái lạnh HN nói riêng và miền Bắc nói chung buốt giá không thua châu Âu!
I often see people only travel in the old quarter area and ignore the development of Hanoi, how it has developed. I think you can go around the West Lake and then go to the 65th floor of the lotte tower to see a round of Hanoi from above =))btw if you have more time, you can try the tram ride of Hanoi, although not too modern, it also helps you see clearly the life of the people and the architecture of the city.
Great video! It's so nice to see you enjoying your travels with your Dad too😊
❤Thank you so much for visiting Hà Nội Việt Nam ❤❤❤
thank you for very thorough vlog, i was planning to visit vietnam with my mom, seeing you with your dad, just make me want to go even more now
Aw my pleasure! Hope you guys have a great time, it's an amazing place!
Season Greetings & Merry Xmassss Alina and Fomlayyy!
Well once again Gordie was overly verbose in his statements about Hanoi. Some of his sentences actually had three words instead of the usual two. Alina could barely get a word in. This was really interesting look at Hanoi. I've friends that have travelled to Vietnam and raved about their time in the country. However, they didn't display it the way you did so I'm getting a totally different vibe. I've never been to Vietnam, but your travels make it an attractive destination. Here I'm thinking -20 degrees C is pretty balmy for the time of the year, but I found 4 and 5 degrees C chilly in Vegas last week. Us humans are funny that way. Received your Bun Thang recipe post card this week. Nice that you and your dad are enjoying your trip.
haha balmy is a very kind word for it! Glad you got the card :)
Beautiful country Vietnam 💞🥀
President O--' my wife will not let me say is name. Personally, my wife & I voted for Tr--- , in case your viewers don't want to see that name. Personally, Pres T--- did well as president except for foreign policy which he sucked at. ( his mouth was too big for his foot) He even pissed the Canadian government off. Anyhow, for Canadians it is impolite to talk politics and let's leave it at that. Really, enjoyed the video even if brought back a lot of bad political memories. ( both past & present) If it is in the budget, personally, I wouldn't mind traveling to Vietnam as it is a beautiful country.
Just found your channel :). I came to the U S as a child, on a Vietnamese refugee on boat. We were robbed 4 times at sea. Women raped and killed. I've not returned since 11, almost 41 yrs ago but watching your video convinced me that it's OK to visit my motherland. And so I'm going in June. Thank you 😊
I’m so sorry you and all the people with you had to go through that.
Come back to Vietnam, you will see a quite different Vietnam from the past and it will make you surprise. It will change your mind, believe me.
@windtalker8566 It's been 41 yrs.... the communist regime was brutal to us during those horrible time. You're right I have to force myself to return for a visit. I'm sure I won't recognize anything but I need to bring some closure to the tramadic experience for this child, now a 51 years old man. Thank you and I appreciate your encouragement. Much appreciated. 🙂
Egg coffee in Giảng Cafe (39 Nguyen Huu Huan st.) is a hint.
Wish you have impressive days in Viet nam.
Amazing workmanship I must say, very beautiful place I with a lot of history, as for crossing the streets, ah, no thanks, a bit to much excitement by the looks of it, Toronto was enough, thanks for the update. :)
haha yes crossing the street is an adventure in an of itself.
@@AlinaMcleod Thanks for the reply Alina, it's nice to see you with your father getting out like that and making great adventure videos like this one, thanks. :)
What a cool dad you have...lucky you :)
Thanks !!!
Good job.
Thank you very much 😊
Great Video Hanoi is one of my favourite cities . Did you go and see the Water Puppet show? Have you been to Northern Vietnam if not please do the scenery and people is amazing.
.
Привет Алина. ставлю лайк за твою работу. Приятного путешествия Тебе и папе.

Very nice video, thanks for sharing...
Lovely
5:07 Oh, there is the national symbol of Indonesia, the Garuda bird on the top left
very nice
Tks U !!!
Imperial city builed by Ly dynasty, not builded by Chinese or something else. Even more, The Forbidden City in China was designed by a Vietnamese chief architect named Nguyen An. :

Great video
Hiiiiiii Alina, I hope that u''ll
Thank you My friend 😍😍😍
Alina McLeod you should also visit sapa is great to visit too not far from Hanoi 👍
I would’ve loved to if I had more time. Definitely next trip!
Thanks very good you two .Have good together .
I just watched your vlog what a great video. I saw you ate the Bún chả Hà Nội, the broth is actually the dipping sauce and it is not meant for you to slurp but just to slightly pour a spoon or two into an bowl that your put all the veggies/herbs vermicelli noodle and top on it would be the bbq pork belly and sausage patties. Just in case you need to try it once more time.
A lot of people at it like she did and some Westerners have been known to drink the broth like soup. LOL! The only thing I didn't see her do was add the minced garlic and chili to the broth and dip her fried spring roll in it. Otherwise, the way she ate is fine. She probably saw others around her eating and took note.
You seems to enjoying the place🙏
You look gorgeous my love,always take care as your father and family, God blssd, peace be with you 🙏
In 1969 when I was on the outskirts of Saigon, I had real cheap housing, it was called a foxhole.
Alina, I loved your Bogota.Colombia video. I just left Manila,Cebu PI and Bangkok,THailand and returned to the United States, I work USA hours remotely and it was very hard o my body and sleep pattern. DO you see yourself ever returning back to Colombia ?
lovely music in your video about VN in Ha Noi. I am VNese but I do not have a chance to visit Ha Noi yet.
Thank you! I hope you do sometime
Tell your father thank you for giving refuge in Canada to those from the USA who saw the folly of invading Vietnam and I thank the Vietnamese people for being so forgiving. One only has to read "The Pentagon Papers" by Neil Sheehan to learn as Henry Kissinger has said, "The USA has no allies, only interests".
Welcome to Hanoi Vietnam
Really! you have to wear a jacket in VN. I thought it is too hot for foreigners.
That’s what I thought too! But it is winter season and Hanoi is far enough north.
Wow bun cha. So good... must try before die 👍👌🤣❤️
OK who first come i ready must come this country
Jatuh cinta dengan HANOI..X
Jatuh cinta dengan Alina..✓
18:38 19:00 the broth was made to eat with those crunchy things(spring rolled or Nem in vietnamese). Why didnt they deep them into the broth
If you are still in Hanoi, contact me. I will take you to eat the best of Hanoians. Bun Cha Huong Lien is not a delicious restaurant that locals eat. The people of Hanoi eat very well, I think you will like it.
