The old town of Hanoi has basically remained the same for many years. It looks like an old city that is rundown and a little messy. But here is the purest of Hanoi, the real life of the locals. Although the old town of Hanoi lacks the heights of modern cities, there are many ancient buildings and shops, many historic temples and parks, and a lot of history. There are still many things to see.  Strolling in the old town, the one that impressed me the most is their motorcycle team. The people in Hanoi often ride motorcycles. The crossroads, the black motorcycles, the green lights and the deafening sounds of the motorcycles are all a part of the scenery. There are also tourist tricycles, where the tourist sits in the front and the rider is at the back. It is a great way to take pictures of the old town.
