Entering September, Hanoi puts on a fresh, cool atmosphere with a hint of chill typical of autumn. The small streets are shaded by trees, yellow leaves fall sparsely on the sidewalks, the scent of milk flowers suddenly wafts by, making it difficult for visitors to control their emotions. This is the ideal time to enjoy the poetic experience of traveling to the North in autumn.

When visiting Hanoi this season, you can stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake, explore the ancient features of the Old Quarter or watch the sunrise on West Lake. Tree-lined streets such as Phan Dinh Phung and Hoang Dieu have also become "must-try" check-in spots for travel enthusiasts. In particular, it would be a mistake to miss out on Hanoi's typical autumn cuisine : fragrant sticky green rice flakes from Vong village, sweet and sour pickled ripe apricots, lush green green rice cakes or sip a hot cup of egg coffee in the Old Quarter.
