What is the town everybody should visit before they die?

Hanoi.

Vietnam is a beautiful beast. And Hanoi is its heartbeat. In all of SE Asia, there are no streets more fast nor more furious. They’re alive, raw and in your face. Literally millions of motorbikes flood the crammed, narrow streets and their horns are the perpetual soundtrack. Street laws and street signs might as well not exist, as relentless waves of traffic mesh and move together. Elderly, rice-hatted women bounce as they carry heavy loads of fruits and vegetables around on their shoulders, while others sit squatted, churning out bowls and bowls of rice and noodles. It might not be the prettiest of places, but there is no other city in SE Asia that visually offer the same Wow factor as Hanoi.

Thanks for your question, Jennifer Morales Harpin!
