Hanoi trip planning in progress

Really had a hard time pin-ing the POI on Google Map, any frequent Hanoi goer can help? Any tips is welcome..

This are the places to visit during the 6 days there. Is it too much to see? Which one can I skip? I'm planning a 1 night stay over at Ha Long Bay & 4 nights at Hanoi City. Any good hotel to recommend also?

Restored Sword Lake (Hoan Kien Lake) • Water Puppet Show @ Thang Long Theatre • Dong Xuan Market • Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum • Ho Chi Minh Museum • Ho Chi Minh House (Presidential Palace) • One Pillar Pagoda • Ba Dinh Square • West Lake • Template of Literature • Hanoi Ancient Town • Stilts House • 36 Old Streets (Old Quarter) • Trang Tien Plaza • Opra House • St Joseph Cathedral • Ngoc Son Temple • Tran Quoc Pagoda • Museum of Ethnology • Quoc Tu Giam • Ha Long Bay • Sung Sot Cave • Vagia Floating Village • Bai Tu Long Bay • Hon Gai Market • Poet Island • Tuan Chau Island

With those points to see, you will definitely complete within 2 days in Hanoi and 1 night in Halong. remain time can be at Tam Coc Cave, and outskirt with Bat Trang Village or Van Phuc silk.

If having more time, Sapa highland is also a great choice that spend 1 night there, but take 2 night on.

Hi friends,

Must try an overnight on board a junk in Halong Bay. Minimum 1 night and ideally 2 nights.

Search around for the best junks option. I believe most hotel/ junk in Vietnam now are doing nice promotion until Sep

Hi Nguyen,

Can really finish in 2 days? Will it be like rushing here & there? I love taking picture so might stay a bit longer at each place. Now got new places to research on.. Tks alot.

Hi HG,

Indeed, I saw the junk with the sunrise view.. Very nice.. Checked some of he service provider there, but the price tag for some is not updated yet.

Really looking forward to Halong Bay.. Tks too.
