Hanoi, the heart of Vietnam, has always been an endless source of inspiration for poetry, music, and painting. From a young age, poems about Hanoi have instilled in children a love for their homeland. I remember days of old, telling stories to children about the Turtle Tower reflecting on Hoan Kiem Lake, about street vendors in the Old Quarter, and reciting verses about Hanoi with them. Now, as an early childhood education expert, I want to share with parents and teachers meaningful and beautiful poems about Hanoi for preschoolers.

Hanoi Through Children’s Eyes
Poems about Hanoi for preschoolers are usually simple, easy to remember, and focus on describing iconic images familiar to children, such as Hoan Kiem Lake, Turtle Tower, and The Huc Bridge. The poetic language is bright, rich in imagery, with cheerful and innocent melodies, suitable for children’s psychology.
Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, an early childhood expert in Hanoi, shared in her book “Nurturing Children’s Souls”: “Poetry is a wonderful tool to awaken love for the homeland in children’s souls.” Indeed, through poems about Hanoi, children not only learn about places and history but also cultivate love for their homeland from their earliest years.
Collection of Hanoi Poems for Preschoolers
Here are some poems about Hanoi that preschoolers love:
Hanoi Has Hoan Kiem Lake
Hanoi has Hoan Kiem Lake,
Water as green as bamboo leaves,
Ancient Turtle Tower
Stands in the clear lake.
Hanoi Has the Old Quarter
Hanoi has the Old Quarter,
Houses close together, brown tiled roofs,
The ice cream vendor goes by,
Ringing his bell throughout every home.
Learning poems by heart not only helps children develop language and memory but also trains their literary and artistic appreciation. In addition, teachers can combine poetry with other activities such as drawing, coloring, singing sailboat songs for preschoolers or English songs for preschoolers to help children learn effectively and with more interest.
Hanoi, Oh Hanoi!
Hanoi, oh Hanoi!
The city I love most in the world
With wide open roads
And green trees shading all year round
