The meeting point is at 24B Chua Vua Street, around 2.5 km from Hanoi Old Quarter. We will spend some time there to share the stories of its history. Afterward, we will head to Cho Gioi market (Hanoi Bazaar market) to learn about the way local people lived when the country was divided. We will then take a short taxi ride to visit the Kham Thien War memorial and the train street, which were heavily bombed by the Americans during the War.
Hanoi during the Vietnam War: the dark side of its most famous monuments. Discover life under the planned economy, the fate(s) of the local people from both sides (the North and the South); and the story of the unification of Vietnam, a country once divided between the communist and anti-communist, on the brink of the COLD WAR. Our "stroll" will last about 2.5 hours, with a short taxi ride half way through. The aim of my walk is to make you discover specific areas of Hanoi (far away from the tourist's eyes) in the light of aspects of our city's rich history that are rarely touched upon by guidebooks, with in-depth information (history buffs welcome) but in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. A conversation, rather than a lecture! Places we will visit: - Cho Gioi area - Kham Thiem B52 memorial - Hanoi Train Street
