Old Quarter Hanoi

 

Old Quarter is the place with streets packed with shops selling all kinds of goods,

each street named for its primary good or service.

Street of shoes, street of clothing, street of hardware, street of plastic bag...

And we stay at the street of plastic bag, Hanoi Old Town Hotel

 

Here, I see many locals on the bicycles or motorbikes, busy with their daily life

Traffic here is messy, you need to be careful while walk on the road.

 

The wiring of the power cables are here and there, forming a complicated route.

I guess while there's power failure with the power cable, they will only tap another wire in

 

Street foods are all around the area here, but it's not cheap.

A bowl of Pho (noodle) cost at least 40000 Dong which is RM6.40 to us

And this is just the street foods, which you will be sitting on a small stool near to the road and enjoying your food. However, some foods are nice and worth trying.  

 

Selling on bicycles are commonly found here

and the bicycle is loaded with lot of stuff

Salute the lady who has to move this bicycle loaded with lot of ceramic stuff 

Shops and houses here are with narrow width and high built up with at least 2-4 floors

And this formed the area with slim tall buildings everywhere

 

Old Quarter, a unique place in Vietnam
