When talking about the most beautiful days of the year in the capital, one would not hesitate to say that autumn in Hanoi is the most romantic and enchanting time.
Hanoi's 36 streets and alleys during these days make us want to slow down and fully appreciate the pleasant atmosphere. The old houses and the green and yellow hues of nature make Hanoi incredibly poetic. Perhaps that's why Hanoi's autumn is so frequently depicted in poetry and literature.
The picturesque scenery and pleasant weather make people feel cheerful and see Hanoi as truly "charming".
The late musician Trịnh Công Sơn also expressed his emotions when he wrote "Remembering Hanoi's Autumn" with these lyrics:
Hanoi in autumn, the autumn of Hanoi
The season of milk flower blossoms fills every breeze with its fragrance.
The season of green rice flakes has arrived, their fragrance filling the air in little hands.
Street vendor's sticky rice with milk, its aroma wafting through the air.
Mentioning Hanoi in autumn without mentioning green rice flakes would be incomplete. The fragrant aroma of green rice flakes wafts from street vendors. Or strolling along tree-lined streets like Hoang Dieu and Phan Dinh Phung, breathing in the fresh autumn air, makes you appreciate this pleasant weather.
Green rice flakes (cốm) are a signature dish of Hanoi people every autumn. From green rice flakes, many dishes can be made, such as green rice flake patties, green rice flake cakes, green rice flake sweet soup, etc. Enjoying sticky rice with green rice flakes, with its sweet and savory flavor and beautiful color, during these days is simply wonderful.
Hanoi this season is indescribably beautiful and gentle. Sipping a cup of iced coffee and quietly watching the streets of Hanoi truly reveals its charm. If you live in Hanoi and don't treat yourself to a bit of Hanoi's autumn, you're really doing yourself a disservice.

Phan Dinh Phung Street has become an iconic part of Hanoi's autumn.

Street vendors carry the essence of Hanoi's autumn in their baskets.
In Hanoi's streets during autumn, the Old Quarter is considered the area that has best preserved the essence and distinctive cultural characteristics of the people of Hanoi.
Hoan Kiem Lake is equally romantic.
The green color stretches out in the autumn sun.
The atmosphere of autumn arrives in Hanoi gently and slowly, a stark contrast to the bustling and lively Hanoi of everyday life.
