Hang Dao Street
Hàng Đào has been a busy trading place for silk products for centuries and much of that vibe can still be felt today.
Hàng Đào has been a bustling trading hub for silk products for centuries, and this vibrant atmosphere is still palpable today. While silk and embroidery activities have largely migrated to its neighboring Hang Gai Street, Hang Đào continues to be a lively marketplace where buyers and sellers from across the country gather to trade. Textile products remain central to the street's appeal. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, the street is pedestrian-only, allowing vendors to showcase a variety of household and personal goods.
At 51 Hang Đào, you will discover a painter’s studio that continues the tradition of creating exquisite portraits. Visitors are often astonished to learn that the manual artistry of these painters surpasses what can be achieved through any digital editing software.
