Edventure Travel - The Old Quarter of Hanoi (Vietnam)

Hanoi’s Old Quarter (Pho Co Han Noi) is steeped in history and tradition. Located in the city centre of Hanoi, the Old Quarter was once the main residential and commercial area where manufacturing took place to service Thang Long Imperial Citadel hundreds of years ago. Today it still maintains its distinctive atmosphere of a time long since passed.

One of the best ways to explore the Old Quarter is by way of a pedal-powered rickshaw (xich-lo). Sitting in the front of the single-seated rickshaw the passenger slowly meanders through the Quarter watching the production of crafts and seeing traders sell their wares. The 36 streets are very compact and competition for space and customers is at the heart of its atmosphere. Along the journey, the passenger will see traditional architecture, ancient temples, and streets that change their name every hundred meters. The erratic traffic flow and seeming lack of road rules is almost unbelievable to watch.
