@fulltimetrippin: This was definitely our most interesting morning in Hanoi so far! A little history: Long Bien Market sits beneath the iconic Long Bien Bridge, which was built between 1899 and 1902 during French colonial rule. The market is busiest in the middle of the night (typically between 2–5 AM) so 3 AM is a great time to experience it at its peak. We loved getting to see where so much of our food in Hanoi comes from! Afterward, we walked across Long Bien Bridge for sunrise. There’s a pedestrian footpath and we got to see several trains pass by. We even spotted a few nude swimmers in the river along the way, which was very unexpected haha. Finish the morning with a coffee at Hoa Xa Cafe nearby. It’s a day that requires an early start, but absolutely worth it! #longbeinbridge #longbeinmarket #HanoiVietnam #vietnamtravel
