Why Hanoi & Osaka Should Be In Your Next Travel Plan!
Vietjet will soon welcome its latest route addition linking
Hanoi, Vitenam with Osaka, Japan. Starting 8 November, the route will be
operational on a daily basis with a flight time of 4 hours per leg.
Hanoi and Osaka are cities that you don't usually put them
together but little did you know, the French-colonial city of Hanoi and port
city of Osaka shares many common traits. Boasting stupendous scenery, rich
culture and diversity, both destinations are lively dynamic cities that are
rapidly emerging as two of the latest hotspots of Asia. Here are a few
reasons why Hanoi and Osaka warrant a spot on your travel bucket list.
#1 Old-World Charm with Modern Development
Located on the western bank of the Red River in northern
Vietnam, the high-octane capital city of Vietnam is a combination of old-world
charm and modern development brought on by a recent surge in tourism. The
city best described as the cultural heart of Vietnam has much to offer
visitors, from lovely parks and museums to street-side restaurants, tree-fringed
boulevards and fine colonial architecture.
#2 Beauty of Foreign Influences
Hanoi’s understated charm also lies in its eclectic mix of
foreign influences. Traces of the city’s French colonial past are deeply etched
in its culture from the architecture, language spoken, right down to its famous
Vietnamese drip filter coffee which is a reinvention of the French press.
#3 Hoan Kiem District (the Old Quarter)
While in Hanoi, a visit to the historic Hoan Kiem District
(the Old Quarter) is a must. Dive into the backstreets and weave through
alleyways on foot to discover boutique stores, cafes and local shops for a
truly authentic experience of the city. Don’t be alarmed by the commotion of
blaring horns from scooters vying for right of way as this is quintessentially
Hanoi.
#4 Historical Sights
A city with a thousand year history, culture vultures will
also be delighted by the many historical sights Hanoi has to offer such as the
Temple of Literature, Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, Hoa Lo Prison and the Hanoi
Imperial Citadel.
Why Visit Osaka, Japan?
#1 Fun Attractions
Home to tourist favourites such as Universal Studios Japan,
Osaka Castle and Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, the bustling city of Osaka packs
quite a punch when it comes to local attractions and world-class dining.
#2 Shopaholic’s Haven
From shopping arcades to flea markets, Osaka is also a
shopaholic’s haven. Some must-visit marketplaces include Shintennoji Temple
market, Kuromon Ichiba market, Amemura and Shinsaibashi-suji – the 600m long
shopping avenue located in the heart of the Minami district.
#3 Creative Dining Experience
A culinary mecca, food lovers will be spoilt for choice with
Osaka’s unrivalled epicurean delights ranging from street side takoyaki and okonomiyaki to
Michelin-starred establishments. Take a stroll along Dotonbori – the neon-lit
commercial street lined with an enormous selection of restaurants, street
vendors and bars and savour some of the best cuisines Osaka has to offer.
