Hanoi city walk (ENG) p.m: Medicine, alcohol, cemeteries and the fighting spirit – Nguyễn Công Trứ Street area
June 13 @ 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
VND100,000
Our walk starts outside number 5D Hàm Long street, where the first Communist Party Cell of Hanoi was established. Then along Lò Đúc Street to the Pasteur gardens, and outside the National Institute of Hygiene & Epidemiology (originally the Pasteur Institute). Back up Lò Đúc and to Nguyễn Công Trứ Street. Carry on to Hai Bà Trưng Lake and the temple complex opposite where we touch on the Hai Bà Trưng sisters’ era and their contribution to Vietnamese history (we do not go inside). For the final part of the walk we will meander the lanes and alleys of amazing Cho Giời (sky market/Hoa Binh market), one of Hanoi’s huge and intriguing city markets specialised in one genre of goods. We end the walk where the market meets Phố Huế.
This eclectic walk touches on a number of influences that shaped Hanoi’s life. From the communist party to medical Hanoi, from the Indochinese architectural style to the alcohol industry, from the Hai Bà Trưng sisters and worship to the best market where you can find every possible type of DIY tools and spare car parts.
The walk lasts about 3 hours (it is not on the tourist route and is a walk unique to FVH)
