Dear …
How are you? Hope you are doing well. It has been almost a year since we met. It is great to
know that you are interested to visit my town and you have couple of questions in your mind
that you need my help.
As currently it is summer here in my town, I will not suggest you to visit in this month. Best
time to visit is in the month of October as it would be end of summer and start of autumn.
Definitely weather is pleasant most of the time in a day. There are couples of places that you
can visit once you are here.
First and foremost is Vietnam National Museum of History…
In addition, you can visit Hoan Kiem Lake and Old Quarter…
Moreover, you can also have a look at Hanoi Botanical Garden…
Regarding cultural places, I suggest you should spend one-day trip to Bat Trang ceramic
village.
Tell me when you’re coming, so I can show you around these places.
I am really looking forward to meeting you soon!
Regards,
