Hanoi in top 7 most beautiful autumn destinations in Asia

In the list of seven most attractive autumn destinations in Asia recently announced by Time Out magazine, Hanoi's autumn impresses with its romantic, gentle yet vibrant beauty.

Hanoi ranked 5th among the 7 most beautiful cities in Asia for tourists this autumn thanks to its unique, romantic, gentle and culturally rich beauty. The list was recently announced by the famous British travel and entertainment magazine, Time Out.

According to Time Out, the capital Hanoi is not a destination to see autumn with yellow leaves. However, Hanoi is different and attractive because the old quarters are more colorful when the temperature is cooler. Walking around Hoan Kiem Lake is the best way to admire autumn with golden sunlight, leafy streets, bustling and peaceful atmosphere creating an unforgettable autumn picture. These are the things that make autumn in the capital of Vietnam different, unique and attractive.

October is the ideal time to fully experience autumn in Hanoi.

Visitors to Hanoi in early October is the most ideal time to fully experience Hanoi's autumn. Leisurely stroll in the Old Quarter, walk around Hoan Kiem Lake, watch the bustling Hang Ma Street with shops selling lanterns, colorful traditional Mid-Autumn Festival toys or watch lion dances, traditional music on the walking street and enjoy typical Mid-Autumn Festival cakes.

The Mid-Autumn Festival night (15th day of the 8th lunar month) is a special time with many cultural activities, traditional music, lion dances, special cuisine and streets lit up by lanterns of all shapes and sizes, creating a truly enchanting scene.
