Following Thai Ha is Chua Boc (Boc Pagoda) Street, which was named after an ancient pagoda built in the seventeenth century during the Le Dynasty. A short distance from the Dong Da mound, the pagoda is also known as Sung Phuc. Although it was destroyed in the battle against Qing invaders in 1789, the pagoda has since been rebuilt as a memorial for the souls of fallen soldiers from that conflict.
The street is renowned for its diverse range of fashion shops, featuring everything from clothing to shoes and accessories. These shops are considered ideal shopping spots, showcasing popular Vietnamese brands like Foci, Canifa, Nino Max, and Made in Vietnam, all at reasonable prices.
However, as a bustling commercial area, Chua Boc Street can become quite congested, particularly during peak hours.
For those who enjoy live music, a well-known café named Lan Song Xanh is located on the street, making it a popular spot among locals and visitors alike.
Positioned in the midst of this vibrant street is the Banking Academy, which continues to play an important role in the education sector of the area.
