I was born in Ha Noi, the capital of Viet Nam. Ha Noi is famous for its natural beauty,
with lots of rivers and lakes. There are many historical places to visit in Ha Noi. It has also
been the centre of Buddhism for centuries. In Ha Noi alone, there are about 600 temples and
pagodas. With a population of nearly eight million, the city is quite crowded. However, the
public transportation is not adequate, so visitors find it hard to safely cross the roads. The city
is packed with universities and enterprises, making it the top destination for higher education
students and labour workers. Many people from rural areas reside in Ha Noi so that they can
get well-paid jobs. This makes the city become more crowded than ever before.
