Ha Noi is the capital of the socialist republic of Viet Nam. The center of culture, politic, economy of the country.
It's largest city in Viet Nam, it lies on the Red river in the north center of Viet Nam.
And it has a population about over six milion people(as 2008) Ha Noi has become the capital of Viet Nam since 1010. It's name has changed several times. The capital was first called Thang Long then Dong Do, Dong Kinh and finally it has been called Ha Noi since 1831.
Ha Noi is situated in a tropical monsoon zone with to mane seasons; dry seasons and wet seasons. The dry season last from October toa April next year. It's cold, cloudy and occasionally rainny. The wet seasons last from May to September. It's hot and heavy rain, even storms.
Ha Noi is exciting and peaceful capital. Ha Noi still maintains many ancient architecture. In cluding: the old quarters and over 600 pagodas and temple. One of the famous places is The one Pillar Pagoda; The Quoc Tu Giam temple Literature, Ha Noi Opera House, Precedent Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum. And now, there're a lot of big building as My Dinh stadium, Ho Tay water park, Nation Confenrence center.
Ha Noi has a lot of green trees, parks, lakes. Which are lungs of the city, keep the air clean ang fresh.
However, Ha Noi has problems with traffic and pollution. Only over six milion people but there are 4.5 milion mortobike and car. Traffic jams occur. There's a lot of smoke and dust in the air. So the air isn't really clean. Moveover the price and service is a bit expensive, so many people don't like living here.
Apart from these problems. Ha Noi is still a beautiful place to live and to work and I like living here.
