Timeline
16:55
Walk the grounds of Voi Phục Temple before the crowds arrive. The two kneeling elephant statues face west, framing the sky just as the day begins to fade.
17:20
Head up to the rooftop bar at Top of Hanoi. This is the high point of the evening. The 360-degree views are best enjoyed as the sun dips below the horizon and the city lights begin to flicker on.
17:55
Walk down to Sushi Uminohana for dinner. The fresh seafood and Wagyu beef are a reliable choice after a long day. Reservations are recommended.
Local tip
Top of Hanoi is one of the highest bars in the world. The sunset view is the main event, so arrive with enough time to secure a seat before the best light fades.
