Food Scene
Xofa is one of the most famous coffee shop in Hanoi because of its cozy space filled with (real) lovely "xofa". You can sit there all day long (it opens 24/7) and watch how our city teenagers have some small talks. We highly recommend that you go to Xofa at midnight to have a peaceful and quite night together with your friends.

Arts & Culture
"This thought-provoking site is all that remains of the former Hoa Lo Prison, ironically nicknamed the ‘Hanoi Hilton’ by US prisoners of war (POWs) during the American War. Most exhibits relate to the prison’s use up to the mid-1950s, focusing on the Vietnamese struggle for independence from France. A gruesome relic is the ominous French guillotine, used to behead Vietnamese revolutionaries. There are also displays focusing on the American pilots who were incarcerated at Hoa Lo during the American War." (Lonelyplanet)

"Meaning 'Temple of the Jade Mountain', Hanoi's most visited temple sits on a small island in the northern part of Hoan Kiem Lake, connected to the lakeshore by an elegant scarlet bridge, constructed in classical Vietnamese style. The temple is dedicated to General Tran Hung Dao (who defeated the Mongols in the 13th century), La To (patron saint of physicians) and the scholar Van Xuong." (Lonely Planet)
