The main reason to come to Co Ngu Quan is the view, which is not just enjoyable for the expanse of water that rests before you, but also the eclectic mix of Hanoi rooftops that surround. You’ll also have a spectacular view of Tran Quoc Pagoda abstractly reflected in the rippling lake. Try and get here on a clear day for the sunset.
October is best enjoyed in the evening on one of the small balconies that are spread over the multiple floors. You can also position yourself within one of the inside lounge rooms for satisfying West Lake views.
