The French Quarter of Hanoi is characterized with wide tree-lined boulevards, sidewalk cafes, fine-dining restaurants, luxurious hotels and French-styled villas. Trang Tien, the main artery of the French Quarter, is a busy shopping street where we can find bookshops and art galleries as well as cafes and hotels. Most of the government offices and embassies are located in the French Quarter.
The coordinates were taken at the entrance of the Melia Hanoi Hotel in the French Quarter.

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
