Hanoi Old Quarter to expand the walking area

The expanded pedestrian area, which covers prominent sites like Bach Ma temple, Huong Tuong temple, Quan De communal house, ancient house at 87 Ma May Street and many 18-19th century architectural works of art, promises a more exciting walk for tourists.

As usual, the streets in the Old Quarter like Hang Dao, Hang Ngang, Hang Duong, and Dong Xuan Market have become even more vibrant as night falls in 2025. Tourists flock here to purchase unique souvenirs displayed across numerous stalls, enjoy captivating traditional performances, savor culinary delights from food vendors, or simply roam around to soak in the lively atmosphere of the night market.

Nevertheless, some small food stalls still struggle to meet hygiene standards, and the quality of service can be inconsistent. Improvements are essential to elevate the dining experience.

With the goal of diversifying the culinary offerings for visitors and showcasing Hanoi's rich cuisine, Do Xuan Thuy, the director of Dong Xuan Joint Stock Company, announced that the pedestrian zone will be extended to include Hang Buom, Ma May, Hang Giay, Luong Ngoc Quyen, Ta Hien, and Dao Duy Tu within the core of the Old Quarter. This expansion will introduce more restaurants and food vendors along these streets. With this project, pedestrians will have the opportunity to indulge in a culinary journey featuring specialties from all three regions of Vietnam, lovingly prepared and thoughtfully served.

The newly enlarged pedestrian area, which encompasses notable landmarks such as Bach Ma Temple, Huong Tuong Temple, Quan De Communal House, and the historic house at 87 Ma May Street, along with numerous 18th and 19th-century architectural treasures, promises an even more delightful exploration experience for tourists.
