Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam and the second largest city after Ho Chi Minh City. It is the political, scientific, educational and cultural center of Vietnam and is over 1,000 years old. Abundant in cultural relics, one can find such historical sites throughout Hanoi. Accordingly, it is dubbed by many as the "Land of Millennial Cultural Relics." Located at a remarkably strategic position, Hanoi as the capital of Vietnam enjoys a lot of advantages: good transportation conditions and a mild climate. That together stamped its title on Hanoi as "The City of Flowers and Spring".
