Although it is best known for its French influence, the city boasts many beautiful examples of architecture. This is in the form of French-styled colonial buildings which means 1 day in Hanoi may not be enough.
The streets in the Old Quarters are lined with brightly colored traditional Vietnamese bungalows. The city now has five urban centers. And, visiting the Old Quarter is a must during your 1 day in Hanoi stay.
The city also has a lovely lake called Hoan Kiem Lake. This is where the locals experience Hanoi’s peaceful beauty amidst the organized chaos of the city.
In addition, there are many parks throughout the city with bright flowers blooming everywhere. Hanoi’s rolling hills and bright flowers make it a beautiful place to visit. Aside from natural beauty, Hanoi’s architectural heritage merits special attention.

Where is Hanoi?
This landlocked city is located along the western banks of the Red River in north Vietnam. Hanoi is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. The city has a tropical monsoon climate with four seasons.
While the city has two clear tourist districts, the Old Quarter and the French Quarter. These two districts contrast with the newer western districts of Cau Giay, Thanh Xuan, Ha Dong, and Nam Tu Liem which have skyscrapers and modern buildings.
And, when in Hanoi, make sure to watch the water puppet shows. This tradition dates back to the 11th century when these shows were performed in a waist-deep pool. Get the Thang Long Water Puppet Theater skip-the-line entry ticket to end your 1 day in Hanoi itinerary.
History
Hanoi is one of the oldest cities in South East Asia. The first Emperor, Ly Thai Lo was the first ruler of Hanoi and named the city Thang Long. Thang Long means descending dragon after he claimed to have seen a dragon descending the Red River.
In the 15th century, the Chinese Ming Dynasty attacked Hanoi. By the time the Nguyen Dynasty was established, Vietnam’s capital was moved to Hue.
It was Nguyen Emperor Minh Mang who named the city “Ha Noi, ” meaning “between rivers”. In the 19th century, Hanoi was the administrative capital of French Indochina.
Vietnam became a unified nation after the war with the nation on the road to recovery. With a rapid construction boom, Hanoi now has new urban areas, gleaming skyscrapers, and a modern skyline of the city.
With well-preserved French colonial buildings, historical landmarks, and several religious sites, Hanoi continues to attract tourists to its streets every year. The two main tourist areas are the Old Quarter and the French Quarter.

Visa Requirements
Most visitors would require a visa to enter Vietnam. However, citizens from Chile and Panama have a 90-day visa-free entry while citizens from Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar have a 30-day visa-free entry to Vietnam.
You can complete the visa application in 4 easy steps. The first step is to complete the secure application form while the second is to pay for the Vietnam visa fees. The third is the print the approval letter and show it to the immigration officer.
A simpler approach would be to apply using the services of iVisa Vietnam Visa. And, they are always available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer your queries or questions.
How do you get around Hanoi?
While the locals buzz around in their scooters, getting around in Hanoi for a tourist is a different ballgame.
As the roads are not meant for pedestrians, walking around Hanoi is the best and cheapest option, especially if you live in the Old Quarter or French Quarter which can be done if you have 1 day in Hanoi or more.
Taxis
This is the most accessible option when you are in a rush. While all taxis are metered, not all drivers use them. The downside of using taxis is the drivers are not well-versed in English and with Hanoi’s notorious traffic, it may take time to get to your destination.
Cyclos
These are Hanoi’s bicycle rickshaws, ideal for destinations a short trip away. These bicycle rickshaws can fit two people with the driver sitting behind the passenger.
It is best to agree on the price before boarding and don’t be surprised if the driver asks for more at the end of the ride. Be firm and stick with your agreed price.
A tip would make them smile. And, always have small changes with you as they hate to return the balance. Alternatively, you can join an Evening Cyclo Tour With A Water Puppet Show and absorb the city’s atmosphere.
Motorcycle Taxis (Xe Om)
Xe Om or “hug taxis” is when you hug the driver from behind as you ride pillion on his motorcycle. You will find these taxis on street corners. Before hopping onto a motorcycle taxi, bargain hard and wear your helmet.
As most drivers may not speak English, write down the address you want to go to and hand it to the driver. Speak to the concierge at your hotel who can give you a rough estimate on the cost from one place to another using xe om.
Bus
The local buses are decked in red, white, and yellow which cover the routes within the city center. Although these buses stop near Hoan Kiem Lake, the Hanoi Train Station, and Ho Chih Minh Mausoleum, we wouldn’t advise getting on these buses for long-distance travel as they may be uncomfortable.
Airport Transfer
The easiest way from the airport is to download the Grab app and book your ride to the city center. Turn down the “helpful” people who approach you asking if you need a taxi and head to the official area to hail a cab.
Alternatively, arrange for a one-way private pick-up and transfer from the airport to your hotel. Or, arrange for a pick-up with your hotel where the porter will wait with your name placard at the arrival hall.
You might have to pay extra, but you will be taken straight to your hotel which means you can rest assured that your peace of mind is intact and your luggage is safe.
How do you spend 1 Day In Hanoi?
Just how do you spend 1 day in Hanoi?
Let’s just say, this is one of the many trips which I have tremendously enjoyed. From a temple on a lake to a day trip to Halong Bay, it is no wonder Hanoi is a preferred destination as there is so much to see and do.
Ngoc Son Temple
The first stop in my 1 day in Hanoi was the Ngoc Son Temple or the Temple of the Jade Mountain. This temple is built on an islet and is dedicated to Confucian and Taoist scholars and Vietnam’s national hero, Trần Hưng Đạo.
What was most striking and beautiful was Cau The Huc, the scarlet bridge constructed in the traditional Vietnamese style. Before reaching the bridge, there are two impressive stone features, the Pen Tower and the Ink Slab.
The beautiful five-story Pen Tower means has three Chinese characters which mean “writing on the clear blue sky” as it seeks to emphasize that this temple is a Temple of Literature.
From the bridge, I was greeted by the majestic Tam Quan which is simply the Passage Gate. The two Chinese letters you see outside the first gate represent happiness and prosperity. I reached the Moon Gazing Pavillion with a turtle engraved on its left representing longevity.
On its right, look out for the dragon which symbolizes strength and power. As I continued walking further, I reached the Ngoc Son temple proper. The main deity is Tran Hung Dao while Van Xuong De Quan was a philosopher who grasped the knowledge of mankind.
The third statue is Amitabha Buddha who represents the Mahayana Buddhism that is widely practiced in Vietnam. As I walked out of the bridge, the diversity and unity of this beautiful nation strikes me.
With Confucian, Taoism, and Buddhist statues in one place, coexisting in peace, amidst the chaos of Hanoi.
It makes us believe that we can live peacefully, regardless of our religious and spiritual beliefs.
How much is the entrance fee to Ngoc Son temple?
The entrance fee to Ngoc Son temple is VND 30,000 ($1.26) for adults and VND 15,000 ($0.63) for students with valid identification cards. Children below the age of 15 years, enter for free. The temple is open from 8 am to 6 pm from Monday to Sunday.
Hoan Kiem Lake
After exploring the Ngoc Son temple on my 1 day in Hanoi, the next best thing to do was to walk and enjoy the serenity of Hoan Kiem Lake. This freshwater lake is in the historical center of Hanoi.
Another name for this lake is the “Lake of the Returned Sword”. Legend has it that once Emperor Le Loi defeated the Ming Dynasty, he was boating on this lake when the Golden Turtle God surfaced and asked for his magic sword, Heaven’s Will.
Emperor Le Loi then threw his sword into the lake and renamed the lake, Hoan Kiem to commemorate this event. One of the world’s rarest turtles, the Rafetus swinhoei was spotted several times before its death. The last turtle was embalmed and placed at the Ngoc Son temple.
How much does it cost to go to Hoan Kiem Lake?
There is no entry fee to Hoan Kiem Lake and the lake is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will need to pay an entrance fee to enter the Ngoc Son temple which sits on an islet on the lake.
Why is Hoan Kiem Lake a tourist attraction?
Hoan Kiem Lake is a tourist attraction because it is a peaceful place amidst chaotic Hanoi. A lake is also a place where the locals go to relax as it has ample space for outdoor activities. The greenery adds to its calming vibe.
Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
The third stop in my 1 day in Hanoi was the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. This mausoleum is a 40-minute walk or a 15-minute drive from Hoan Kiem Lake. The cheapest way to get here is by getting onto bus number 9 in the direction of Cau Giay and Bo Ho.
The bus stops at station number 91-93 which is on Le Phong street which is a short walk to the entrance to the mausoleum. Or, you can hitch a ride on a taxi, the fare should not cost more than VND 45,000 ($1.90) for the trip.
Although the mausoleum was inspired by Lenin’s Mausoleum in Moscow, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is unique in that Vietnamese elements were incorporated into the design such as the sloping roof.
The embalmed body is Ho Chi Minh lies at the center of the central hall and is preserved in a cooler and is protected by military honor guards.
Is the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum free?
Foreigners need to pay an entrance fee of VND 25,000 ($1.05) to visit while locals enter for free. As the visiting hours are seasonal, always check before you make a trip here.
Why is Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum important?
The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is important as it was built so that the common man can visit and pay respect to him. This cultural symbol also shows the Vietnamese deep respect for the leader, the man who is the Father of Vietnam.
After visiting the mausoleum, you can visit the Ho Chi Minh Museum, the Presidential Palace, House Number 54, and Ho Chi Minh’s House on Stilts that he lived in and reminded him of the difficult days preparing and leading the revolution.
Did Ho Chi Minh want to be cremated?
Yes, Ho Chi Minh wanted to be cremated with his ashes spread in three parts of Vietnam. He wanted some of his ashes in the north where he worked, in the central region which was his homeland, and in the south where he realized his journey to create an independent Vietnam.
Tran Quoc Pagoda
The fourth stop in our 1 day in Hanoi was the Tran Quoc Pagoda. This pagoda is about 900 meters or an easy 20-minute walk from Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum. With its striking red exterior, the pagoda is a must-visit icon of Hanoi.
Tran Quoc is the oldest temple in Hanoi as it was built during the 6th century as a symbol of Buddhism in Vietnam. Walking along its grounds, I saw a Bodhi tree which is believed to be from a branch from the sacred Bodhi tree which Buddha attained enlightenment.
The beautiful stupa is 11-storeys high with six arched doorways with a statue on each floor. Each figure is made with precious stones and resembles Amitabha Buddha.
As this is a living pagoda with monks living within its ground, it is respectful to dress appropriately. This means that your knees and shoulders must be covered. It is always crowded, especially on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar months.
Why is the Tran Quoc Pagoda important?
The Tran Quoc Pagoda is important as a religious spiritual center and is a cultural symbol of Vietnamese Buddhism. The pagoda is also the oldest in Hanoi. And, with its picturesque scenery, the environment is one of peace, calm, and tranquility.
How much is the entrance fee for Tran Quoc Pagoda?
There is no entrance fee for Tran Quoc Pagoda although donations are accepted. The pagoda is open from 8 am to 4 pm every day. As this is a living pagoda, shorts, mini skirts, and tank tops are not allowed.
Hanoi Cathedral
The fifth stop in our 1 day in Hanoi was the Hanoi Cathedral which is officially the St Joseph’s Cathedral. St Joseph’s Cathedral is about a 40-minute walk from the Tran Quoc Pagoda.
This walk was one of the hardest for me, not because it was difficult. Rather, it was the urge not to stop at every shop to shop for souvenirs or to grab a bite. Take a break at the Hang Dau Garden as you watch the people going about their daily lives.
St Joseph’s Cathedral is just a 10-minute walk back to Ngoc Son Temple where I started.
Now a little bit of history, the cathedral was built in the Gothic Revival style and was built in the late 19th century. The cathedral does strike a pose as its building was inspired by Notre Dame in Paris.
St Joseph is the patron saint of Vietnam and this is the oldest church in Hanoi. Another inspiration from France is that the stained glass windows were made in France before they were delicately transported to Hanoi.
There is no entrance fee to visit the church. While there are no restrictions to taking photos of the exterior, there are limitations when visiting the church as it is only opened when there is a mass. Hence, check in advance for the schedule of the mass.
Day Trip: Halong Bay
The sixth and last stop on our 1 day in Hanoi was a day trip to Halong Bay. A day trip here is a must when in Hanoi. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is in the Gulf of Tonkin and is known for its spectacular limestone pillars, emerald green waters, rugged islands, and centuries-old rock formations.
Halong Bay is surrounded by Bai Tu Long Bay in the northeast, Cat Ba Archipelago in the south, and Lan Ha Bay in the east.
And, did you know that Ha Long in Vietnamese means descending dragon? I didn’t!
According to local legends, when Vietnam was just developing as a country, the gods sent a family of dragons to protect the new nation. The family of dragons began spewing jewels and jade which transformed into these limestone rocks.
These rocks formed a natural wall against the invaders. In the end, Vietnam won the battle, and to oversee the peaceful new nation, the mother dragon descended onto the earth. The place she landed was named Ha Long.
The place where the dragon children landed was Bai Tu Long and the place where the dragon children wriggled their tails violently was named Bach Long Vi island.
What is the best month to visit Halong Bay?
The best month to visit Halong Bay is during the spring months of March to April when the weather is pleasant with gentle sunshine and little rainfall.
The other best time to visit Halong Bay is during the fall months of September to October. During the autumn months, the weather is cooler with pleasant sunshine. By October, the cool breeze blows frequently.
What is special about Ha Long?
Ha Long is special because it is the only place in the world where majestic limestone mountains rise above the emerald-green waters of the bay. Its beauty has remained untouched as most of the 1,600 islets are uninhabited.
