"Specialty" of the Capital

Autumn is considered the most beautiful season of the year with a cool climate, peaceful and romantic scenery. The charm of Hanoi's autumn makes not only the capital's people but also domestic and foreign tourists excited.

Autumn in Hanoi has entered poetry, music, and painting as a symbol of beauty and romance of a season of the year. The harmony between the land, sky, landscape, cuisine, and people in the cool weather creates the charm of Hanoi.

Tourists can leisurely walk on Thanh Nien, Phan Dinh Phung, Hoang Dieu, Dien Bien Phu, Trang Thi streets or stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake, West Lake, Long Bien Bridge, and also enjoy the beauty of ancient architectural works such as Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam, Thang Long Imperial Citadel, then enjoy autumn cuisine in Hanoi's Old Quarter.

Hanoi in the Autumn days is not only to admire the romantic old streets with the scene of falling yellow leaves, feel the cold air but also to watch the street vendors carrying the whole "Autumn sky of Hanoi".

Going through streets like Phan Dinh Phung, Thanh Nien... street vendors carry flowers throughout the streets of the capital, those are flower carts typical of Hanoi's autumn: daisies, yellow daisies, aster daisies, lilies... Hanoi girls take advantage of the opportunity to dress up, invite each other to the streets and neighborhoods typical of the capital to take pictures.

Promoting the exploitation of "Autumn Hanoi" tourism products

Recently, in Hanoi, a seminar with the theme “Autumn Tourism Destination of Hanoi” was held by the Hanoi Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion. This activity is within the framework of the Hanoi Autumn Festival.

In recent times, Hanoi has been promoting the exploitation of tourism potential through organizing many events and building new tours. At the seminar, representatives of tourist destinations and travel agencies discussed and introduced the capital's autumn tourism products.

Sharing at the discussion, Vice President of Hanoi Tourism Association Nguyen Tien Dat informed that nearly 10 tourism products about Hanoi Autumn have been developed. These are: Tour to experience Hanoi Autumn through 5 senses (tourists walk on the flower road, listen to songs about Hanoi, eat green rice cakes, drink egg coffee, shop for gifts); Hanoi Autumn photo tour; Hanoi food tour; Hanoi city tour by elevated urban railway and electric bus; Ao Dai tour (tourists wearing Ao Dai depart from the Old Quarter to Van Phuc silk village for sightseeing and shopping); tour of Ha Thai lacquer craft village (Thuong Tin) - bell hat village (Thanh Oai) - Quang Phu Cau incense village (Ung Hoa); tour of Duong Lam - Mia Pagoda - Son Tay ancient citadel - Khai Nguyen Pagoda; tour to watch the live show "Quintessence of the North"; tour of Duong Lam - Mia Pagoda - Son Tay ancient citadel - Khai Nguyen Pagoda - Thay Pagoda - "Quintessence of the North" show.

Mr. Nguyen Tien Dat said that the Hanoi Autumn tour package will be suggestions for tourists to choose when visiting Hanoi. At the same time, these are also products that the Hanoi Tourism Association offers so that travel agencies can connect, exploit together, share customer sources and widely promote to a large number of domestic and foreign tourists.

To truly experience Hanoi’s autumn, tourists need time to experience and explore thoroughly. Therefore, travel agencies need to build tours with detailed and reasonable schedules, helping tourists have the opportunity to experience Hanoi’s autumn more deeply, Mr. Dat emphasized.

According to Vice President of Vietnam Community Tourism Association Vu Van Tuyen, in order for autumn tourism products to become more attractive and diverse to attract more domestic and foreign tourists, Hanoi's tourism products need to promote the cultural identity of each locality, such as the tour to experience Quang Phu Cau incense village (Ung Hoa) needs to have many new elements, clearly characterized so that tourists do not feel like experiencing the incense village in Hue.

Besides, Hanoi can form heritage routes and tour products in both inner and outer cities to expand the range of experiences for tourists.

Deputy Director of the Hanoi Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Nguyen Tran Quang said that in order to have attractive products for tourists, travel agencies need to cooperate in building and exploiting products. The Hanoi Center for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion is always ready to support the promotion of new tourism products, while promoting cooperation between travel agencies to share customer sources and develop the market.

Standing Committee member of the Vietnam Culinary Culture Association Le Thi Thiet assessed that Hanoi cuisine with its typical autumn delicacies also plays an important role in shaping tourism products.

According to Ms. Le Thi Thiet, Hanoi has many delicious dishes typical of Autumn, so when coming to Hanoi this season, visitors can enjoy products such as green rice flakes, rice cakes, crab noodles, snail noodles or eat a hot bowl of pho in the cool Autumn weather... However, to make cuisine a strength in tourism development this season, Hanoi should develop a "culinary map", helping visitors easily explore and experience the cuisine of the Capital and create a highlight to attract visitors both visually and tastefully.

Le Thi Tuyen, representative of the Department of Culture and Information of Ung Hoa district, said that the locality is currently promoting the development of tourism products in craft villages, especially Quang Phu Cau incense village. This is an attractive destination, giving visitors the opportunity to experience the craft of making incense and admire the brilliant incense strips under the autumn sunlight.

In addition to introducing tourism products associated with Hanoi's Autumn, at the seminar, managers and experts also gave their opinions to help Hanoi's tourism products "attract" more tourists and develop more sustainably in the future.

At 7:00 p.m. on September 20, the 2nd Hanoi Autumn Festival 2024 will officially open at the Hoan Kiem Lake walking street and several tourist attractions in the city. This is an event to promote tourism, advertise and introduce Hanoi culture, which is expected to increase the attraction of tourists to the capital.

With many interesting experiential activities as well as large-scale performances, the Organizing Committee hopes that the people of the Capital and visitors attending the Program will have interesting and meaningful experiences.
