Hanoi Street Life at Night - Picture of the week

Night Life of Hanoi

Hanoi Street Life at Night is my picture of the week. Taken at night during my trip here in May 2010, The photo shows the busy streets of central Hanoi city at night with cars, bikes and buses all zooming past.

Doing night photography in Hanoi is one of the fun things, especially during the weekends when the town centre gets really busy. You simply pick a place and look for interesting subjects to photograph here.

I managed to walk around the city to take some Hanoi night photos, which were rather interesting. Locals were quite friendly, but not everyone will allow you to take pictures, so either you get permission or do it discreetly.

For anyone heading to Hanoi in Vietnam, take note that one of the best places to take photos is also around the Hanoi Old Quarter area, just by the main lake. This is also probably the best place to photograph the Hanoi street life at night.

The trick is to get high up at one of the cafes, order some Vietnamese coffee and take a table by the balcony. This is precisely what I did for this photo of Hanoi street life at night.
