Traveller's Journal

A glimpse of the day.

The streets of Hanoi woke slowly, the morning sun casting a golden hue over the quiet alleys. We set off towards Train Street, where life and railway tracks intertwined in a way that felt both chaotic and harmonious. Crossing the Long Bien Bridge, the city faded into a softer hum, the Red River shimmering below. At Phung Hung Mural Street, bursts of colour filled the walls, scenes of old Hanoi preserved in paint. The scent of freshly brewed coffee pulled us into a hidden alleyway where we were introduced to egg coffee, rich and velvety. The afternoon led us to the tranquil Hoan Kiem Lake, then the sprawling Ceramic Mosaic Mural and the explosion of petals at Quang Ba Flower Market. Just before sunset we arrived at Lotte Tower Skywalk; from the 65th floor Hanoi unfolded beneath us, bathed in golden twilight. Our journey had been a mosaic of contrasts, old and new, quiet and chaotic, one that lingered long after the day had ended.
