Hanoi Street Beauty in Autumn

There are four seasons in Hanoi, each season has its own vibe and unique beauty, but nothing beats the romantic peaceful atmosphere of Hanoi streets in autumn.

Peaceful Old Quarter

The Old Quarter shows off its most beautiful appearance in autumn’s golden sun rays. The retro color of the yellow walls is offset by green-yellowish leaves and vivid flowers. Small street food shops with oldies drinking tea create a peaceful vibe that you cannot find anywhere else.

But you really know that Mid-Autumn Festival is knocking on the door when you are suddenly attracted by colorful lantern shops in Hang Ma Street.

Autumn breezes

You know summer is still around, but the autumn breeze will trigger your senses with the scent of flowers and there is fresh cool air in the early hours. Local people say that the elegant breezes also cool down pace of life and calm people down to slowly enjoy the beauty of Hanoi in autumn.

Vibrant street vendors

It’s not hard at all to spot colorful street vendors riding a full basket of flowers, fruits or local snacks around. With bright smiles, these ladies are “riding a small Hanoi’s autumn” behind. Don’t forget to buy a beautiful flower pax and capture those lovely moments with you.

Quite sunset at West Lake

Hanoi is famous for a lot of lakes, but West Lake – the largest lake in Hanoi offers a very different vibe. Standing in front of West Lake makes people calm, and serene and temporarily forget the hustle and bustle of life. Sunset in West Lake is an experience that you shouldn’t miss when the whole lake reflects the sunlight from the crystal-clear blue sky.

Flowers & street foods

Don’t be surprised when you suddenly smell some nice scent from above. Perhaps it’s from one of the most special trees in Hanoi – “sua” flower. Autumn in Hanoi would never be complete if you couldn’t smell sua flowers. Wander the streets, breath in the elegant aroma of sua flowers and treat yourself some delectable street foods that are unique to autumn.
