13 Oct 2019 - Hanoi Day 2: Night Market by Hoan Kiem Lake

At about 9pm, we finally reached the old quarter district in Hanoi.  Instead of going back to our hotel, we decided to walk towards Hoan Kiem Lake looking for a place to have our dinner.  As today is still weekend, the entire place was crowded with people.  Stalls selling souvenirs were setup at the night market.

We had a great night view of the "lighted-up" Turtle Tower at the middle of Hoan Kiem Lake.

We strolled down the lake side and reached Trang Tien Plaza, which was nicely lighted up.

We had our dinner at a Pho (pronounced as fir) restaurant nearby.  After two days at Hanoi, we finally had a taste of Pho, a traditionally vietnamese noodle.

As we walked back towards our hotel, we passed by a mango dessert shop and decided to have some dessert to end our long day.  :-)
