Tourists flock to Hanoi Cathedral to enjoy sticky rice, check-in machines are 'burning'

In the somewhat chilly changing season atmosphere in Hanoi, the area around the Great Church becomes an ideal meeting place for tourists and young people in the capital.

The Hanoi Cathedral area attracts a large number of tourists and young people, even on weekdays.

In late October, Nha Chung Street - where Hanoi Cathedral is located, is always bustling with people. Under the gentle morning sunlight, groups of young people and international tourists happily take pictures next to the moss-covered walls of the church, or the corner of an ancient coffee shop, making the atmosphere here even more bustling.

Not only checking in "burning the machine", tourists are also attracted by sticky rice with young rice, a culinary flavor associated with autumn in Hanoi.

A package of sticky rice with young rice in hand, enjoying it while watching people passing by in the cold weather, is an experience that many people praise as a unique atmosphere only found in Hanoi.
