Hoang Hoa Tham Street

Hoang Hoa Tham Street, also referred to as Bonsai Street is about 3.320 meters long

Hoang Hoa Tham Street, also known as Bonsai Street, spans approximately 3,320 meters. It begins at Phan Dinh Phung Street and stretches to Buoi Market. According to the historic map of Thang Long Royal City, known as the Hong Duc map, this street forms part of the northern city walls of Thang Long Royal City. The area encompasses land historically belonging to several ancient villages, including Xuan Sơn, Huu Tiep, and Vinh Phuc. During the French colonial period, the street was named after De Parreau, the first mayor of Hanoi. Today, it honors Hoang Hoa Tham, who was a prominent leader in the famous Yen The Uprising against French rule.


The street is home to numerous important political and cultural landmarks in Hanoi, including the Prime Minister’s Office, Bach Thao Park, the Cinema Department office, and the Documentary Film Studio.


Today, Hoang Hoa Tham Street is a vibrant hub for bonsai enthusiasts. It features several professional shops alongside local vendors offering a wide variety of seasonal flowers and bonsai. Many of these vendors provide products cultivated in their own gardens, which makes for very competitive pricing. During the Tet holiday, Hoang Hoa Tham Street becomes one of the prime locations for purchasing flowers and trees at great prices. Shoppers can select from a colorful array of fresh kumquat trees, cherry blossoms, and apricot blossoms. For those who may purchase more than they can carry home, there is no need to worry, as numerous motorbike taxi drivers are readily available to assist with transportation.
