Old Hanoi meets new in panoramic views

Panoramic photos show Hanoi in the process of development, with old and dusty homes next to new and modern buildings.

The streets of Hanoi are lined with buildings that mark time, old structures stand, their weather and wear giving testimony to their age and history, right next to modern skyscrapers and other architecture. A hotel building can be seen directly behind a row of old homes, showing the great contrast between the old and new.
