Hanoi - "an Asian city for four days" - come on you can do better than that.
The water puppet show is one of the main tourist things to do.
Spend a day wandering round the Old Quarter and you have to try some street food. Looks daunting and deadly at first but it's the best when you get over your western thinking.
You have to do the bia hoi ritual around late afternoon, the barrels turn up and they set up on the street. Find a spot and have a few, most of them also do bits of food and you always get chatting to someone.
If you have enough time Ha Long Bay is do-able from Hanoi and is awesome.
