About the ride from Mai Chau to Hanoi

After spending time in quaint and cosy Mai Chau, Hanoi is the next logical stop for travelers on Vietnam’s varied tourist trail. The nation’s hectic capital buzzes with energy and action, and it offers a very different Vietnam to the one you’ll have experienced in the homely valley of Mai Chau.

But despite these differences - or maybe because of them - both Hanoi and Mai Chau are essential destinations for anyone traveling in Vietnam.

A city which pulsates with a unique energy and doesn’t stop for breath, Hanoi inexplicably feels like someone took a small, friendly village and inflated it into metropolis-sized proportions. Despite its ever-growing population of expats, nightlife and ultra-trendy hangouts, the real appeal here lies in the charming back alleys, the unparalleled street food and the warm and sincere welcomes.

If you want the thrills of big city life after Mai Chau’s simple serenity, you’ll love Hanoi. Perhaps the most thrilling city in the whole of Southeast Asia, it’s noisy, busy and sometimes jarring, but it’s endlessly exciting. From temples to lakes, friendly faces to some of the world’s best cuisine, Hanoi is a traveler’s dream.
