Ho Tay (West Lake) is the biggest lake in Hanoi. It's also where a lot of the new development in the city is going on. This guy is fishing in the shadow of some monstrous new building.

According to the "internet," the main span of the Long Bien Bridge is 1,682 meters long (1.04 miles), and including the "viaduct approaches" it's 1.6 miles long. The Golden Gate Bridge, in total length is over 2,780 meters long (1.7 miles). In total bridge length the GGB edges the Long Bien by .1 miles, so Varat, your sense of distance is about 100% off.
