Nghi Tam Street

Nghi Tam Street spans 1.4 kilometers, beginning at the Au Co-Xuan Dieu junction and extending to the intersection with Thanh Nien Street. This section of the dyke was constructed after the Lien Mac dyke was breached in 1915, leading to its original designation as De Ngoai (Outer Dyke). It runs parallel to the older Yen Phu Street, which served as the original dyke. The street was officially named Nghi Tam Street in 1986. Notably, while the initial stretch lies within the boundaries of Nghi Tam village, most of the street extends through Yen Phu village.

Nghi Tam is recognized as an ancient village, celebrated for two significant historical landmarks: Kim Lien Pagoda and the Nghi Tam communal house, both dating back to the Ly dynasty. The entrance of Kim Lien Pagoda features a stone stele intricately carved with dragon motifs characteristic of the Ly dynasty, making it a notable attraction in Tay Ho district. Furthermore, the Nghi Tam communal house venerates six tutelary gods, including the revered Quynh Hoa princess. Over generations, these two sites have become symbols of the village's identity and are diligently preserved by the local community.

In addition to nearby Ngoc Ha, Nhat Tan, Quang Ba, and Tu Lien, Nghi Tam is recognized as one of Hanoi’s prominent flower villages. Each year, as the Tet holiday approaches, Nghi Tam village attracts numerous visitors from across Hanoi. People flock here to purchase flowers to adorn their homes during the festive season. Particularly popular among the youth, the village serves as a vibrant gathering spot where young people not only buy flowers but also capture moments amidst the stunning displays of various blooming plants, reveling in the beauty of the colorful floral arrangements.
