Vietnam - Hanoi - 1000 Year Old Capital


Multiviews of interesting places in Hanoi.

I bought this postcard during the trip to Hanoi (10th - 12th January 2025) and got the stamps cancelled at the Hanoi's Central Post Office.

Hanoi (VietnameseHà Nội) is the capital and second-most populous city of Vietnam. The name "Hanoi" translates to "inside the river" (Hanoi is bordered by the Red and Black Rivers). As a municipality, Hanoi consists of 12 urban districts, 17 rural districts, and one district-level town. The city encompasses an area of 3,359.84 km2 (1,297.24 sq mi) and as of 2023, a population of 8,587,100. Hanoi had the second-highest gross regional domestic product of all Vietnamese provinces and municipalities at US$51.4 billion in 2022, behind Ho Chi Minh City (read further).
