Described as Asia?s most Asian city by Frommer?s guides, Hanoi most probably conjures up images of French villas on tree-lined boulevards or roadside noodle restaurants in the Old Quarter, if not the ungovernable traffic -- but skyscrapers?
For proof that Hanoi is now a boomtown, look no further than the soon-to-be-completed Keangnam Hanoi Landmark Tower in the city?s new central business district -- a planned urban area defined by paddy fields five years ago. The main tower of the South Korean-owned US$1.05 billion development is 68-floors and 336-meters high, making it one of the tallest buildings in Southeast Asia.
