[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]“I’ve been living in Hanoi so long that I ‘forgot’ to be curious about this city”, \u0110\u1ea1i Hoa said as she walked. “I want to try exploring Hanoi through the eyes of a tourist, to see what I would find”. \u0110\u1ea1i Hoa, aged 39, is one of the participants in the city walk presented by Friends of Vietnam Heritage (FVH) on November 14.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nBasked in the gentle sunshine and chilly winds as the season begins, the group excitedly strolled along the central streets of Hanoi with the familiar guide, FVH Vice Chairwoman Stella Ciorra. The itinerary started from Hanoi Opera House, to Tr\u00e0ng Ti\u1ec1n, H\u00e0ng Khay, then B\u00e0 Tri\u1ec7u, H\u00e0m Long, taking a turn at H\u00e0ng B\u00e0i and ending at Tr\u00e0ng Ti\u1ec1n. A trip back in time, tracing memories instilled along the century-old streets, alleyways, buildings and structures.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe journey was filled with surprised exclamations every time the group discovered something “new”: the site of Hanoi Opera House was once a swamp, which is why underneath the building are thousands of bamboo stakes; the establishment of the first cinemas in Hanoi\u2026 The “secret” of a village nestled deep inside Alley 29 on H\u00e0ng Khay street is probably the most surprising discovery for the group.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nMany participants said they walked around Ho\u00e0n Ki\u1ebfm Lake so many times and had no idea this alley existed. “V\u0169 Th\u1ea1ch Village is the most amazing discovery for me today, I can’t imagine there’s a whole village inside, a peaceful place as such right in the centre of the city”, \u0110\u1ea1i Hoa excitedly said.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nImke Boerner, a German currently based in Hanoi, said that it seemed like “stepping into another world, with pagodas, temples, old communal houses, a whole relic area. I would have never known of this place if it wasn’t for this tour.”<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nStella shared that she created this tour as she wanted to present something new and different, because many FVH members are Vietnamese people in Hanoi, or expats who have been living here for a long time. “I think It\u2019s very important to investigate new routes. You know, this route is never on any tourism.”<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTr\u00e0ng Ti\u1ec1n area exploration walk is Stella’s favourite itinerary. “Here, there are many historical stories, with the French’s influences and impacts. Many structures still exist in their present form.” Some places may seem uninteresting, but they have tremendous stories to tell.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n“Everything has its story, you know”, said Stella as we were standing in front of Tr\u00e0ng Ti\u1ec1n Plaza, the final stop, marking the end of FVH’s second city walk in VFCD this year. \u0110\u1ea1i Hoa also joined the previous tour around Hanoi Old Quarter. “I was reluctant to go out when I’m at home. But thanks to these walks, I gain more knowledge and new experiences, it is an absolute joy.”<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_images_carousel images=”3039,3037,3035,3033,3031,3029,3027,3025,3023,3021,3019,3017,3015,3013″ img_size=”full”][vc_separator color=”black”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]15.11.2021[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Written by H\u1ea3i An<\/span>\r\n\r\nPhotos by \u0110an<\/span>\r\n\r\nTranslated into English by \u0110inh V\u0169 Nh\u1eadt H\u1ed3ng<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nKindly credit VFCD 2021 when sharing the article.<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlease do not copy or repost the article in parts or in its entirety without permission.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
