Formerly known as Thang Long and Dong Kinh, Vietnam’s second largest city was named Hanoi – meaning the city in a bend in the river – in 1831. It now attracts over 28 million tourists each year to its serene lakes, upmarket French Quarter and buzzing Old Quarter, where hundreds of mopeds zip past bewildered tourists.
