Walking in Hanoi
Hanoi is Vietnam's thousand-year-old capital. Its Old Quarter of trade streets, its lakes and its French colonial avenues are best explored on foot, preferably with something to eat.
Terrain. Flat, but pavements are often blocked, so expect to step into the road.
Crossing roads. Walk slowly and steadily across, without stopping or running, so scooters can flow around you. Keep to a constant pace, even when it feels wrong.
