How Many Old Quarters Are There In Hanoi?
Hanoi has many old streets, but the most mentioned and visited place is the old quarter in Hoan Kiem district, with a total area of about 100 hectares, including 76 streets in 10 wards. This is also the place that the local government is interested in preserving and maintaining.
Accordingly, #Smiletravel notes that “Hanoi 36 streets” is a conventional name for the ancient urban area, located inside and outside the old town. The streets are mostly named after traditional craft villages that were formed in the past, with the word “Hang” in front such as: Hang Dao, Hang Bong, Hang Gai, etc.
Nowadays, some streets still maintain traditional occupations such as: Hang Ma, Hang Tre, Hang Thiec, Thuoc Bac... Some others, although no longer doing traditional occupations, still focus on selling a certain type of goods, for example: Hang Quat street sells worship items, Hang Buom street sells candies, Ma May street specializes in tourism services. Each craft street here has its own unique characteristics, bringing many different impressions and feelings. Visiting the old town, you will somewhat imagine the social, cultural, and economic picture of the people of Thang Long from ancient times.
