Ha Noi has recently been named in the “30 places to see before you turn 30″ by the Business Insider UK.
According to the site, “with its intense weather, food, and impressively preserved city and countryside sites, Viet Nam is an up-and-coming destination rivaling many other Southeast Asian countries that have long been popular tourist sites”. It suggests tourists visit the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, stroll the Old Quarter and pop around to many temples via taxi while coming to Ha Noi. India’s Mumbai topped the list, followed by Cuba’s Havana, Peru’s Machu Picchu – Incan ruins, and the Great Pyramid of Giza in Cairo. Recently, Business Insider also listed Viet Nam among the 30 best places to travel alone.
