The charming Vietnamese capital has aged well, preserving the Old Quarter, monuments and colonial architecture, while making room for modern developments alongside. Hanoi may have shrugged off several former names, including Thang Long, or "ascending dragon," but it hasn't forgotten its past, as sites such as Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and Hoa Lo Prison attest. Lakes, parks, shady boulevards and more than 600 temples and pagodas add to the appeal of this city, which is easily explored by taxi.

Most beautiful ceramics we found in shanti and excellent service - packed all our things so that we could carry it in the suitcase! Would highly recommend it!

Handcrafted ceramics, though have been forgotten over times, can still be found in our little showroom - where the artful techniques have been passed down from generation to generation in the family. With our mindfulness of keeping the values alive, this ceramic workshop will guide you step by step the process of making handmade potteries, from shaping with a turntable to glazing.
This is not only a showroom of handcrafted ceramics that is pass down from generation to generation but a great place to create your own ceramic works. I join a workshop that held every Saturday for beginners and was impressed by the shaping and glazing technique, it was difficult at first but then my cup turned out very amazing. There is also a class on every Sunday for those who want to truly enter the world of ceramics. Once in every month, a free class is organised for autistic kids

Our first handcrafted notebooks were sewn in 2016 while traveling to other Asian countries to note down our experience. With a natural-born love for art & craft, we decided to go with bookbinding to preserve this tradition and spread the love for this handmade art. Our Hanoi home-based studio organizes weekly bookbinding workshops and provide nicely 99% handcrafted notebooks, mostly one-of-a-kind.

I have been working as a tour guide for 8 years, I like to promote ecotourism whilst educating visitors about my beautiful home, Hanoi. Too many historical landmarks in Hanoi are misunderstood or are being destroyed, I'd like to preserve them and educate foreigners about their existence. Hanoi is where I was born, grew up and gave me many memories, I want to share my experiences of this simultaneously ancient and modern capital city.

After a long trip in Sapa, I was tired and the reception desk recommended to me using the massage and satisfied with it. I felt very relaxing after 90 minutes hot stone massage in Vita Beauty Spa.

A Hanoian born who would tell you unfold stories about our amazing city and guarantee to make your time worth while. I was born and raised in Hanoi and have been hanging around with foreign friends, visiting scholars and tourists for 10 years. Working as a Consultant in a Fitness and Yoga Center sparks me ideas about mindfulness and how you can improve your life through stress relief by choosing the right places to relax and enjoy life in Hanoi and over the country.
