The capital and 2nd largest city of Vietnam, Hanoi is a popular destination amongst international travelers... due to its close proximity to Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unlike Southern Vietnam, Hanoi has 4 seasons and during the colder seasons, it becomes a popular destination for Malaysians. The city has a nice blend of east meets west components... with obvious China-influenced elements. Though there are not much things to see except traces of colonization, the city boasts over a great variety of Vietnamese delights. Many airlines are offering direct flights from Malaysia to Hanoi and that includes our national carrier- Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia.
