Ha Noi was ranked second on TripAdvisor’s best destination list, beaten only by Beijing of China, while Ho Chi Minh City and ancient Hoi An city ranked 9th and 14th, respectively
Describing the Vietnamese capital city, the travel website said: “The charming Vietnamese capital has aged well, preserving the Old Quarter, monuments and colonial architecture, while making room for modern developments alongside.”
