This article describes the changes that have taken place in Hanoi since the end of the Vietnam War. What was then a squalid third world capital struggling to recover from the devastation of the war, is now a stylish metropolis with lakeside promenades, tree-lined boulevards, ancient pagodas, and streets filled with young people on motorbikes. Sixty percent of Hanoi's residents were born after 1975 when the war ended.
