Romantic Valentine's Day Date Spots in Hanoi 2013

Where to Go for Valentine's Day 2013? Couples in Hanoi can choose from the following Mytour suggested date spots for a happy and meaningful Valentine's season.

1. Thanh Nien Street – West Lake

The area around Thanh Nien Street and West Lake is always a paradise for Hanoi couples. Here, lovers can park their bikes and take a boat ride on the lake, choose a lakeside cafe or restaurant, or simply sit on a stone bench and admire the sunset over West Lake, feeling the moments together.

2. Korean Street and Japanese Street (West Lake)

When it comes to dating spots for young people in Hanoi, Korean Street and Japanese Street are definitely unforgettable. Japanese Street is a road along West Lake passing through the Tay Ho villas area to the water park. Korean Street, although much shorter than Japanese Street, is equally beautiful, with lotus ponds on both sides. During the lotus blossom season, the entire street is filled with the pink of lotus flowers and the green of lotus leaves. In the evening, Korean Street is equally beautiful as the water park's Ferris wheel lights up – a truly Korean-style romantic scene. The quiet space and gentle waves near these two streets are ideal for couples' intimate moments on Valentine's Day.

3. Early Morning at Sword Lake

This Valentine's Day, make it truly special. Try a one-of-a-kind date: early morning at Sword Lake, when the mist hasn't completely dissipated yet. This Valentine's falls on the 5th day of Tet, when the weather in Hanoi is not too chilly. Early mornings at Sword Lake are breathtaking, with the rows of trees casting shadows along the lake, the elderly leisurely practicing tai chi or strolling by the lake... Hand in hand, feeling the cold embrace of the first day of the year, experiencing the love for each other. Incredibly romantic.
