And then reserve a ticket, because when you've finished the book, you’ll want to lose yourself in this city on your own, finding the places that will make Hanoi your private terrain of discovered secrets. In these pages, you'll enter living spaces tucked away in alleys; enjoy art installations that celebrate Hanoi’s natural world; study the architecture that has developed over the centuries, and the graphic design that has become an integral part of the urban landscape; watch people who are savoring a sidewalk meal, rushing off to work in a wild river of traffic, working at jobs that have existed forever and at new occupations that will change the city. Watch the exuberance of boys taking flight on skateboards, the trendy chic of hipsters in tattoos and elegantly tailored blue jeans, the beauty of aging faces whose countenances have been shaped by decades of struggle. Five different viewpoints, five different cameras, five different photographers bring their own special version of a city they know and love to a book that lets readers roam through the hidden corners of Hanoi
John C. Mueller said New Photo Book Captures Hanoi. I love this book! It's one of a series from Things Asian Press that presents photos of major cities in Asia. This particular book really captures the unique beauty and intensity of this wonderful city. If you have ever visited Hanoi, you will recognize it in this beautiful and well crafted book.This is a link to the recent gallery opening at the Goethe Institut Hanoi, which celebrated the publication of the book.[]. "Best photo book of Hanoi that I have seen!" according to Suzanne. This book is an intimate portrait of a city I loved flipping through it after I returned home from my recent trip to Hanoi and it now lives on my coffee table. My friends ohhh and ahhh and it helps me explain to them where I was and what I saw. A must for anyone who enjoys travel -- both the armchair kind and the slightly more daring kind.
