Connect with heritage.
From wherever you are.
Hanoi.exe is a nonprofit cultural initiative bringing Hanoi’s heritage and historic places closer to young people through digital experiences.
“Run” a journey
through Hanoi.
“.exe” evokes a program file: one action opens a new world. We bring together photographs, heritage stories and small interactions so you can take the lead in exploring.
Distance may stand in the way of a trip, but it need not stand in the way of curiosity.
Two reasons to open Hanoi.exe.
Get to know Hanoi before you arrive.
A cultural compass for students preparing to move to the capital: recognise its heritage sites, read their stories and find your own perspective.
Stay connected with the place you miss.
For young people living away from home and students abroad: revisit Hanoi’s architecture, memories and atmosphere through real photographs.
Curiosity → Interaction → Connection.
Stories & knowledge

Explore through play

Let’s build a connection
