General Information Hanoi is the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It lies
nearly 100km from the sea on a bend in the Red River. From this
geographical feature the city derives its name-Hanoi means "within a
river bend".
It is a city of broad, tree-lined boulevards, lakes, parks, weathered
colonial buildings, elegant squares and some of the newest buildings in
Asia. Despite being the capital of the world's 14th most populous
country, the city remains small and compact, historic and charming.
