Hanoi
Red River capital
Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, located in the northern part of the country along the Red River.
The city served as capital of French Indochina and later North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, when American bombing campaigns made it internationally prominent.
We spent three days in Hanoi before heading south to Ho Chi Minh City.
