Hanoi Old Quarter was established in 11th century as a trade center for artisans and merchants from all corners of the country to meet up and exchange goods. It is considered an essence of Hanoi, with tube-shaped houses with slopping roofs, well-preserved communal houses, temples and pagodas. Today the Old Quarter is a must-see destination for tourists who want to learn about the 1000-year history of Thang Long – Hanoi.
