 | |  |  | Walking arround: Pho Hang Bong - Cotton street | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
No, Hanoi doesn't have marvellous monuments to look at. The charming of Hanoi is it's peaceful atmotphere, cool air in the early morning, smilling and friednly people, graceful french-time houses with green windows, lively scenary along small streets,... so the pleasant fun is just walking around. Being an oriental country (and communist now), the red is popular, always appears in the wedding, national festival, sport events,.... Here is an evidence, a treet called "Hang Dao" means "Red Street". This street is used to trade cloths, which were mostly in red colour, starts from Hoan Kiem Lake and links to "Hang Bong", which means "Street of cotton" and Hang Bong is link to "Tho Nhuom", which means "Street of dyers". So imagine these streets are like a chain of textile work in the past and now could be considered as "Silk road" in Hanoi, where most of silk shops located. This reflects the specialization of imigrations from traditional villages to Hanoi. While Hanoi was a "lady in red" on the National day, this woman seems to be uneventful because all her life is belong to this "Red Flag" shop. Leave a Comment Address: Old Quarter
