Hanoi
A self-guided audio walking tour of Hanoi.
Hanoi's true story emerges from its name changes. Originally Thăng Long, the 'ascending dragon,' the city has worn titles like Đông Kinh and finally Hanoi. This constant renaming reflects its shifting political importance, from an imperial center established in 1010 to the capital of French Indochina. Wander through the narrow alleys and past French colonial structures to grasp the layers of Vietnamese history. This is a city defined by its continuous reinvention. In the app, 38 stops in Hanoi are narrated aloud, about 1h 5m of listening across 6 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 67 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
