Welcome to the Hanoi Travel Blog
The Hanoi Travel Blog from Eco Trip Asia is written on the ground by our local Hanoi team. We ride these streets every day, we eat at these stalls every week, and we spend our weekends in Sapa and the countryside. Every post is a first-hand guide, not a rewrite of other blogs.
What you will find here:
- Hanoi hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path guides — the alleys, lakes and little markets that even many Hanoians have never noticed.
- Food tour stories — where to eat bun cha, pho, egg coffee, bun bo nam bo and street dishes you will not find in guidebooks.
- Jeep, scooter and motorbike tour reports — honest write-ups of our own tours, including what to expect and what not to.
- Sapa adventures — rice terraces, mountain passes and the villages of Muong Hoa and Ta Van, visited by jeep and motorbike in every season.
- Practical travel tips — weather, packing, hotel districts, visas and transport, all current for 2026.
If you prefer evergreen reference guides (seasonal weather, visas, pickup points, booking policies), see Before You Go: Practical Guides for Hanoi and Sapa. If you are ready to book, see our full catalogue of Hanoi and Sapa tours, or jump straight to our most popular ride, the Hanoi Half-Day Jeep City Tour.
