Tourists can do a lot of activities in Hanoi, but one thing they shouldn't miss is the opportunity to experience and taste local street food. This is the excellent way to learn and feel the local culture and lifestyle.
I will walk you, starting from Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, through small and shady streets in the Old Quarter such as Bao Khanh, Hang Trong, Nha Tho, Ly Quoc Su, Hang Gai, Hang Thiec, Hang Buom, Ma May, etc.
Along the way we will stop over in street food shops for you to enjoy the dishes such as (may not be all, depend on your stomach space):
