"Located in the center of the old town north of Hoan Kiem Lake, it is an old market that locals often visit. It was originally built by the French colonial government in 1889, and was destroyed in fires and repaired many times. Now Tongchun Market is Hanoi's largest indoor market, selling goods involving all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

"Speaking of going to Hanoi's old street, I recommend everyone to go to Hanoi's 36th Ancient Street, about a thousand years of history, it is said that there are only 36 industries in ancient times, so each street sells different things, such as they have rice street, lock street, clothing street, soy sauce street, paper street, jewelry street, Toy Street, Shoe Street, Coffee Street, Bar Street, Stationery Lantern Street, Hat Street, Leather Street and so on. Each street has its own characteristics. Not only do you have many choices, the price is relatively cheap, people who want to buy souvenirs can go here for a stroll! There are 3 ways to visit the ancient street: by battery car, by tricycle, walking. Walking is the most convenient way!"

The lights on the road are on at the beginning, and people of all colors walk in a hurry. The night view fountain is very beautiful. If it is not the same as the language and text, I feel that I have not gone abroad! !"
