The Hanoi’s "City for Peace" award from UNESCO in 1999 reminds every one to the old saying: "Thang Long (old name of Hanoi city) is a non-battlefield". However, Thang Long has become a battle with national historical marks.
King Quang Trung fighted with Thanh force in 1789, the su***de battle in Hanoi began 9 years of resistance war against France in 1946, "Dien Bien Phu" victory against the US air force in 12 days in 1972 were a condition for Thang Long to become a non-battlefield, an old message signaling Hanoi today as a land of peace.

From a battlefield in the past, Hanoi grows to a peaceful land nowadays.

Nom bo kho – one of the best street food in Hanoi
Hanoi is a fascinating city with combination between classic and youthful city, but if you want to explore the Vietnamese people and their culture, you must delve deep into its street food.
For anyone who has been to Hanoi, nom bo kho (green papaya salad with dried beef) is an excellent dish. No one knows where nom bo kho came from or when it first appeared. However, this dish has gone popular for Hanoians and visitors.
In Hanoi, you can find nom bo kho in many streets or alleys, but beating all of the above is the tiny restaurant in Ham Long street or Thanh Ha alley, O Quan Chuong street. My recommendation for you is nom bo kho Ba Gia in Thanh Ha alley, O Quan Chuong street. The presentation of the dish is quite similar to that in Ham Long street. However, nom bo kho Ba Gia is said to serve the most excellent beef and sauce.
Groups of young students and families comfortably sit on plastic stools on sidewalks, and enjoy a fresh salad on small plastic plates. The dish must be so good that they don’t mind motorbikes and cars passing by their tables.
Vietnamese, especially Hanoi food, is also considered one of the healthiest foods in the world. The use of fresh herbs, meat, fish sauce combined with a right balance of spices is what makes Hanoi food taste and smell so good. Nom bo kho served on the streets is the best example of the balance, like the name, it combines dried beef, green papaya, peanuts, perilla leaves with mixed fish sauces. Among those ingredients, the salad dressing really stands out.
There is no denial to say nom bo kho is a popular street snack. A good dish of nom bo kho is strongly influenced by the sauce. If the sauce tastes good, then this dish will become more delicious.
Located in Thanh Ha alley, O Quan Chuong street, nom bo kho Ba Gia outlet makes the Hanoi’s shortest street always crowded with local and foreign visitors. nom bo kho Ba Gia is open from 3:00 – 6:00 pm, each plate of nom bo kho costs you VND25,000 (US$1.07).
O Quan Chuong is the only remaining gate of the ancient Thang Long citadel. According to historical records, this gate was built in the 10th year of Canh Hung Dynasty (1749), called D**g Ha Mon (D**g Ha gate orthe gate of D**g Ha ward). This work was restored twice, in 1804 and 1817, under the reign of King Gia Long. The current architecture is the result of the first repair in 1804.
O Quan Chuong was designed as a vong lau - a typical architecture of the Nguyen dynasty, with the front facing O Quan Chuong Street and the back looking to Hang Chieu Street. The gate has 2 storeys. The first storey has three doors: a door in the middle of 3m high and 3m wide, and two side doors of about 1.65m wide, 2.5m high.

Move Over Pho! Bun Bo Hue Is The Vietnamese Soup You Need To Know About.
The central Vietnamese city of Hue, once the capital of Vietnam and still known as the Imperial City, has a distinctive cuisine full of diminutive rolls, savory pancakes, dumplings, skewers and other snacky bites. (You can see a photo gallery of such dishes here.) Standing in contrast is the mighty Bun Bo Hue, a soup that starts with pork and beef bones, gets a kick from lemongrass, annatto and shrimp paste, and finishes the job with a tangle of herbs, a squeeze of lime and a few delicious add-ons like sliced brisket, crab balls and, in some cases, cubes of congealed pig’s blood. Phew!
