9. Hanoi
"What's fascinating about modern, youthful Hanoi is that the past is never far away. In the Old Quarter, the Dong Kinh Co Nhac group breathes new life into ancient silk string instruments, while across town at Hanoi Rock City, emerging local bands dominate packed dance floors. 100km south in the Mai Chau mountains, the Equation 'rave in a cave' festival, now in its seventh year, is increasingly attracting international attention. Hanoi's fashion scene is equally dynamic - designers are turning ethnic minority fabrics into globally revered couture, drawing on centuries-old silk traditions," Time Out commented.
Hanoi is the most affordable city for arts and culture on the list, with 82 percent of locals rating the Vietnamese capital highly for affordability. Take a walk on the weekend walking street – the most recommended of all the city’s cultural activities in Time Out’s survey, where the streets of the Old Quarter and around Hoan Kiem Lake are cleared of traffic to make way for street performances, traditional dance and live music
