Golf: the King’s Island Golf course is the only course in the whole of the north of Vietnam and is situated a short distance from the city centre at the King's Island Golf Resort and Country Club. The course has 36 holes and offers magnificent views of the Ba Vi Mountain and the waters of the Dong Mo Reservoir. A club house offers a place to relax and a fantastic restaurant serving Vietnamese, Thai and Western food. Biking: there are several companies offering biking tours in Hanoi and most reputable tour agents will have deals with them so you shouldn’t struggle to get details if you’re interested. Hanoi City Tours: at agents of the popular Sinhcafe Travel Company, it’s possible to book tours of the city of Hanoi which take in all the popular sights. Typically a one-day tour will visit the Ngoc Son temple, the Dong Xuan market, the Old Citadel, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Museum, the One Pillar Pagoda, the Quan Thanh Temple and Tran Quoc Pagoda, the Ethnology Museum, the Literature Temple and Quoc Tu Giam. Cooking Classes: you can find cookery classes in Hanoi but unlike other SE Asian destinations, they are not aimed at backpackers or budget travellers. The high class hotels invariably offer these courses which are normally one-day affairs and begin with a trip to the local market for an introduction to the fresh ingredients used in Vietnamese cuisine, followed by a day back at the hotel spent preparing a number of popular dishes. | |
