My Trip

A route for capturing Hanoi's faded French colonial, retro atmosphere on camera. A train shot at a track-side cafe, yellow-walled alleys and the black cathedral, and a lakeside rooftop cafe — all on foot. Late-afternoon golden hour is the best light. (Train Street access may be restricted during safety crackdowns.)
