Young enthusiasts of exploration and photography in Hanoi will surely be familiar with the Diplomatic Corps area (Bac Tu Liem, Hanoi) - a sacred 'Instagrammable' spot.

Outside the Embassy area, the wall is meticulously tiled, adorned with layers of traditional patterns, and a section of gray tile roof that evokes thoughts of ancient Korean structures. Along with the serene surroundings, the gray tone of the cement road and the distinctive details of the lane markings make this spot a Korean-inspired check-in corner.

Although it's a beautiful location, exuding the refreshing vibe of South Korea, in reality, it still functions as a diplomatic office of South Korea in Hanoi. Therefore, online advice suggests that those who come to admire the space and take check-in photos should do so with a light touch, a gentle smile, maintaining politeness, and avoiding large gatherings or prolonged photoshoots.
Hence, when capturing photos here, everyone should be mindful of maintaining order. Each person should stand on the sidewalk, taking shots from a distance, on the opposite side of the road markings. Avoid standing too close to the wall as it may impact the scenery and atmosphere at the Embassy.
Areas around Embassies, Consulates General... are all vital zones under strict 24/7 surveillance. These locations within the state offices are always equipped with a dense system of surveillance cameras, no-photo signs, and designated parking spaces to ensure a sense of respect and necessary security.
