Hanoi Incredible early morning tour - Half Day

5:00 AM: Depart to the Quang Ba flower market. Stroll between the shops that are full of colorful flowers come from different places. There is nothing but flowers at this market. This is the biggest flower market in the city and is open at night time only.

Continue to the Ba Dinh square which is located in front of the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum for a very special ceremony of the National Flag Rising at 6:00 AM. This solemn ceremony happens every morning but still attracts many people. A short distance from the square, the chaotic Chau Long market gives you surprises at every corner. Everything here is fresh: green vegetables, meats, noodles, even live chickens, ducks and fish. This is one of very few traditional open door markets that still exist in the city center.

Drive to the Hoan Kiem Lake in the city center, joining Tai Chi, aerobic morning exercises or laughing yoga at the Ly Thai To Statue park. Take some amazing photos of the lake, even capture some pictures of parents carrying their kids on motorbikes to school. Head to the Old Quarter for a typical breakfast with a bowl of Pho and some iced coffee.
