My Advice	If you have a big luggage(s), it would be better to take a taxi because the driver may decline to take you. Left baggage is located at arrivals hall in the airport. From Noibai airport you can also take a bus No.7 to Kim Ma bus station in the city. Kim Ma bus station is located the way to Giang Vo Lake. The bus No.17 is bound for Long Bien bus station located north of Hanoi Old Quarter. From here Hoan Kiem Lake can be reached by other bus lines or motorbike taxi (Xe om). According to HERITAGE, Vietnam Airlines' in-flight magazine, Xe om cost about 3,000VND per a kilometer.
