Let your feet lead the way and you will discover the most about the colorful and nostalgic streets of the capital. There is no destination, no predetermined route, just turn right, turn left or go straight. This street is full of toys, that street is full of shoes, clothes, antiques or sometimes tombstones, motorbike parts.
If you come here during rush hour, the experience is even more interesting. You always have to be ready to dodge the flow of people and vehicles on the road. Just like that, 1,000 years of Hanoi’s history flows through the streets like blood in every vein, breathing into life the breath of both the past and the present.
