If Hanoi could be summed up in four words it would be 'old, new, cool and authentic'. The city seamlessly blends ancient history and culture with modern trends and style. It has an energy, a unique way of life, something people can see and experience through its architecture, traditions, foods and streetlife. This book reflects on the changes Hanoi has seen in recent decades, it displays how the city and its people both revere the past whilst embracing a modern future. As a long-term resident of Hanoi, I am proud to present a selection of photographs complete with concise but in-depth information that capture Hanoi's past, present and future. I hope these images allow readers to grow a deeper understanding and appreciation of this incredible city. Ross DeversonPhotographerwww.rossd.photography
