Ha Noi is the capital of the socialist republic of Viet Nam. The center of culture, politic, economy of the country.

Ha Noi is exciting and peaceful capital. Hanoi still maintains many ancient architecture. Including : The old quarters and over 600 pagodas and Temples. One of the famous places is The one Pillar Pagoda; The Quoc Tu Giam temple Literature, Hanoi Opera House; Precedent Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum. And now, there’re a lot of big famous buildings as My Dinh stadium; Ho Tay water park; National conference center.

Ha Noi has a lot of green trees, parks, lakes, Which are lungs of the city, keep the air clean and fresh.

However, Ha Noi has problems with traffic and pollution. Only over 6 million people but there are 4.5 million motorbike and car. Traffic jams occur. There’s a lot of smoke and dust in the air. So the air isn’t really clean. Moreover the price and service is a bit expensive, so many people don’t like living here.

Apart from these problems. Hanoi is still a beautiful place to live and to work and I like living here.
