The "36 Streets" of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, is a traditional area where each street specialized in a specific craft or trade. The streets have names like "Hàng" (merchandise), Hàng Bạc (Silver Street) or Hàng Gai (Silk Street). While there aren't exactly 36 streets today, the name symbolizes a vibrant, centuries-old hub of artisans and merchants, preserving cultural legacy with unique shops, architecture, and incredible street food.
