five places that you can take beautiful
pictures here and we're gonna discover
vietnamese culture through art and
architecture but before we go as always

if you want to learn more about vietnam
and if you want to support my channel
don't forget to check out what the full
merch and with that all set let's get
started if you love art and want to take
pictures with reminiscing paintings of
hanoi old quarter you should visit
funghung miro street open to the public
in early february 2018 it is now a
well-known photo place and cultural
space for city dwellers and travelers to
hanoi these paintings were created by
vietnamese and south korean artists as
an art exchange project
this contemporary artwork depicts
memories of hanoi such as hang ma street
long bean street made by electrical wire
the vendors who carry vegetables food
and recyclable items
[Music]
so this painting is actually very
interesting to me why because it's a
perfect combination of the traditional
and modern artwork in the old days
ordinary and plain outfits are easy to
be found everywhere on the street during
the full moon festival you can see the
kids are playing with firecrackers they
are doing the dragon dance and they're
playing with drums but nowadays with
globalization and the national economic
development kids today they can wear
louis vuitton and chanel over there
[Music]
this mural street is not only a place to
take beautiful pictures but it's also
evidence to help preserve and promote
the heritage of hanoi
[Music]
and the second location that we're going
to visit today and i guarantee that
you're going to have beautiful pictures
here excuse for the honking
but
it's
hang the water tower and it's located in
such a busy street in hanoi and is in
the middle of four streets
[Music]
fun fact the water tower was built with
stone from a scrap of hanoi citadel in
1894 however it was abandoned in 1960
the tower is 25 meters high cone-shaped
roof surrounded by small gothic windows
this water tower was the first work
making the transformation of hanoi into
an urban center
in front of this water tower there are
beautiful trees that change color in the
fall
and that's the reason why vietnamese
people love taking photos here next to
hang dog tower you can see hanged out
garden with beautiful green trees where
the locals usually hang out as well
a great place to hang out and take
beautiful pictures
[Music]
hanoi opera house construction was
designed by two french architects named
harley and boyer it was built in 1901
and completed in 1911. hanoi opera house
hosts cultural entertainment
performances classical music
contemporary dance orchestra concerts
and government events with french
architecture and typical gothic and
mosaic characters the hanoi opera house
becomes a unique place for people to
hang out and take pictures there
[Music]
but your contacts
[Music]
if you drive through lake taito street
you can see a lot of youngsters taking
pictures in front of the newsstand
outside the hanumaui newspaper office
the new stand is being updated with the
latest news so hanoians can read the
newspapers on the way they go to work or
exercise
with the vintage red and yellow colors
combined with classic funds in the 1950s
this is a unique place for people to
take pictures and make great memories of
hanoi

last but not least 1912 book street is
an ideal place for anyone who wants to
take dreamy pictures with books here
