Le Bich says that even though Hanoi has changed a lot, its ancient beauty is still intact. He will never forget Hanoi's nettle trees, red-leaf tropical almond trees, ancient houses, scent of milk flowers, and church bells ringing every afternoon.

Hanoi in Le Bich’s heart is the ancient Tortoise tower, Hoan Kiem (Sword) Lake, West Lake, Co Ngu Street, and the tram bells’ sound.

Le Bich has been taking photos which he thinks of as notes in a song he sings to honor his beautiful Hanoi.
