Hanoi Beyond Old Quarter – Discover the City’s Other Side

Hanoi is a vibrant city, and the first place you should visit is the Old Quarter Area. It is the heart of the city, offering a glimpse into a bustling metropolis. Have you ever discovered the city’s other side? In this blog post, you will learn about an amazing and newly developed place in Hanoi. Discover Hanoi Beyond the Old Quarter.

We visited the beautiful Hanoi Grand World, a Local favourite place to spend weekends. It is almost an hour’s drive from the Old Quarter. You can easily reach here by cab. The best time to visit Hanoi Grand World is in the evening on a weekend.

Hanoi Grand World is a beautiful place which resembles the city of Venice. You will see European buildings on a huge promenade. There is a huge artificial river built in the centre, just like in Venice. You can take a gondola ride on this beautiful river. You will find several cafes and dining options surrounded by the river.

I waited at the centre of the promenade to witness the spectacular Pirates Show. Locals are waiting for the show to begin. They were happy seeing us; there are no foreign tourists at the place. They interacted and clicked pictures with me. I enjoyed speaking to the locals. They were friendly and welcoming.

The Pirates show was amazing. We were thrilled to see the show, full of action. We did not understand the story, as they were speaking in their local language. The visuals were amazing, and we enjoyed the show.  It is approximately a 20-minute show. The show happens at weekends.

Next, I witnessed the Fireworks Show at the Hanoi Grand World. This spectacular show takes place at weekends. It is beautiful to see the sky lit up with fireworks. The promenade is dazzling, with locals spending a relaxing evening at the cafes and restaurants

We had dinner at an Indian restaurant located inside the Hanoi Grand World at the restaurant 3 Cs – Curry, Café & Cocktail. It serves authentic and relishing Indian Food. They have a variety of food options on their menu. I liked their North Indian Cuisine. It was authentic and good. I liked the Dal makhani and Paneer Subzi.
