    Hanoi and Halong Bay

    Get to Hanoi's Old Quarter early to avoid the strong midday heat. Walk around Hoan Kiem Lake in the morning to see locals doing tai chi. On day 2 head to Halong Bay. Book a 7:30 AM pickup for the 4-hour drive to make the most of your bay time. Pack what you need for the cruise in a small bag. Your main luggage will stay in storage.

    Join the early morning tai chi on deck at 6 AM. Bring light layers since mornings are often misty. You'll get back to Hanoi after brunch in the mid-afternoon. Spend your evening at the Old Quarter night market. Keep an eye out for motorbikes since they rarely stop for people crossing.
