Hanoi has at least three times more high rise building than Ho Chi Minh, but ironically few foregn tourist know that, since once leaving airport, crossing Nhat Tan bridge, they will enter the older quarters of Hanoi, which there are few high rise. In addition, there is no high rise in the proper old quarter in Hoan Kiem district. So most of tourists believe Hanoi has only low rise buildings
However, in the western side of city, Hanoi is comparable to Nanning city Quangxi province in number of high rise building.
