1. The 36 Old Streets - A Maze of History and Trade

The heart of the Hanoi Capital is the area known as the 36 Old Streets (or the Old Quarter). Each street bears a name associated with a traditional commodity, such as Hàng Bạc (Silver Street), Hàng Tre (Bamboo Street), Hàng Gai (Hemp Street), and so on. The ancient houses with their tube-like architecture, moss-covered tiled roofs, and street vendors create a vivid, colorful picture of the lifestyle and commerce of Hanoians of the past.
