Hanoi in autumn
===============================

VietNamNet Bridge – The scorching days of summer have gone. Cool breezes signal the autumn coming that lifts the spirit of Hanoians.

The walkers doing early morning rounds of Ho Guom can feel the approach of the much-talked autumn in the capital. They see the water surface of Sword Lake, as it is known in English, is like a mirror - so calm before the breeze starts.

A lot of locals and expatriates jog for their morning exercise before work or stroll around to admire the lake - and old trees and willows that are reflected in it.

Another crowd prefer sitting on the concrete benches to watch the sun go down and the lights around Thap Rua (Turtle Tower) in the center of the lake come on.

The ancient The Hue Bridge is lit at night, showing the way for visitors to walk to Ngoc Son Temple that was built in the 18th century on Jade Island.

Around the lake, the leaves of trees are turning yellow and the roof tiles on the houses, particularly in the Old Quarter, are becoming browner. Along romantic Nguyen Du Street and by Thien Quang Lake, the hoa sua (milk flowers) are in bloom and the street cafes are full.

Hanoians say the best time to visit the capital city in autumn is October. It is the season that has always inspired painters and poets.

Sorry do not have time to read through all the postings in this thread. Please forgive me if someone had already posted those places that i'm going to share below:

1) Spa/Massage @ Hanoi Hotel

- whole place is nicely decorated and clean
- Hot, warm and cold pool and sauna
- can pick the gal you want from pictures at the counter
- generally good massage
- only HJ available and they will usually ask for USD$30 or VND$500k if they know that you are foreigner. I'll usually stick to VND$300k - 400k depending on my mood else will tell her forget it.
- generally good clean place for relaxation just that its a bit expensive

2) KTV @ Hanoi Hotel
- generally good selection of gals
- targetting more towards foreigners because not cheap
- tips for the gals range from VND$200k and above. They will compare tips and if someone in your group give more, your gal will also insist on getting the same amount of tip.
- lots of gals here can speak either a bit of english or chinese.
- if you want to take away, market rate is about USD$100+-

3) The Boss KTV @ Fortuna hotel
- similar concept to KTV @ Hanoi hotel

- large selection of gals
- the rest similar to KTV @ Hanoi hotel

4) Nha Hang Hai San Sam Son Restaurant
Addr: 77 Doc Bac CO - Hoan Kiem Dist
- serve good vietnamese food including seafood
- price quite reasonable
- worth going if you have run out of places for dinner
- Its part of a hotel and massage. Never try before.

5) Massage @ Kingston Club
Addr: 53b Hang Chuoi - Hai Ba Trung

6) Hoa Vien Restaurant
Addr: 1A Tang Bat Ho, Q.Hai Ba Trung
- beer brewery concept
- serve very fantastic lamb ribs, lamb leg and sunny squid

7) Legend Beer Restaurant

8) Ashima Mushroom Hotpot Restaurant

The above are places where its generally quite safe for foreigners to go even without any locals bringing you there. Don't have to worry ganna chop carrot. Of course there are other places that are also equally good at lower cost frequent by locals. The only problem with those places is if no local bring you there, communication is a problem and they may chop carrot.

Hope brothers here will find it useful enjoy Hanoi!
