BUDGET TRAVEL TO HANOI VIETNAM: BOTANICAL GARDEN, PUBLIC PARKS & PLAZAS

March 26, 2017
MABUHAY
This is a photo and video journal of our second-day budget travel in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam.

BREAKFAST
Noodles with pork or beef, herbs and spices is a typical Vietnamese breakfast. A single serving cost around 60,000 Vietnam Dong (US$ 2.60)


The Vietnamese hot coffee served in a small cup, is so strong that I ordered another teaspoon of sugar. I also requested for a big cup to add more water to lessen the bitterness.

HANOI BOTANICAL GARDEN
This botanical garden is well loved by the local people. Aside from a lot of interesting artworks, edifice, and gardens to discover, one can also relax or do any exercise activities. This is a venue for health and wellness of the locals.
The Entrance
The entrance fee is 8,000 Vietnam Dong.





Lagoons




Trees
Just take a seat on a bench and enjoy the cool breeze of the garden under a canopy tree.



Stone sculptures
I really appreciate how Vietnamese artist expresses their creativity through work of arts. As an art enthusiast myself, the expression of talent defies the language barrier.
