I remember when I used to live in Hanoi 8 years ago (I lived in Hoang Mai district), I used to take my little motorbike out and go for a stroll around West Lake (Ho Tay) at night or early morning. Getting from Hoang Mai to Tay Ho is a journey. The atmosphere is calming and the air is refreshing. Many locals and tourists would walk or cycle around West Lake. The West Lake area/district is also a popular/well known place among Western expats due for its quiet and private neighborhood.

You guys are awesome. Great list. The reference to pho cuon is a nice nugget of novelty.

Good job, Mike & Ashley. Would love to see you expand this on your next trip. What about the Tay Ho and West Lake area? Maybe show the more modern side like the mall and newly built metro (2nd line is scheduled for June, I think) as people think Hanoi is ONLY the Old Quarter now as they don't realize the Old Quarter is just where Western vloggers love to highlight due to its unique charm, traditions, architecture, etc.
