The Old Quarter in Ha Noi

The Old Quarter in Ha Noi lies near Hoan Kiem Lake. This is a special place because it includes 76 small old streets and the names of many streets describe the name of the goods that are traded there. For example, the street is called “Hang Bong” because cotton products are sold there. We can also buy silver products on “Hang Bac” Street.

The Old Quarter is also famous for its diverse cuisine. There are a lot of delicious traditional foods such as Pho Bo (a type of beef noodles), Bun Thang (noodles with chicken, shrimps and egg), Xoi (a sticky rice dish), bread with full of meat and vegetables, and more. Coming here, tourists can find some nearby historic structures such as Cua Bac Cathedral, Louis Finot Museum and Dong Duong University. You can also visit famous temples and pagodas, namely Bach Ma temple and Cau Dong pagoda. In spite of being historic, the Old Quarter is quite bustling.
