Ta Quang Buu Street

Ta Quang Buu Street stretches from Dai Co Viet Street to Bach Mai Street, situated in Hai Ba Trung District. This street is named after Ta Quang Buu, the first principal of one of Vietnam's pioneering universities, Ha Noi University of Technology (HUT). A distinguished professor of mathematics and physics, he was awarded the Ho Chi Minh Medal for his significant contributions to the Revolution and remains a symbol of knowledge and academic dedication for his students at HUT.

The area around Ta Quang Buu Street is home to numerous universities in Hanoi, including the National Economics University, Hanoi Open University, and the University of Civil Engineering, collectively housing over 10,000 students. The atmosphere here is very student-oriented, filled with street coffee shops, “tra da” (iced tea) vendors, Southern-style sweetened porridge, snack stalls, and stores selling books and clothing—all available at affordable prices, catering to the bustling student life. The street is always alive with activity, as thousands of students return to their dormitories after classes and sports at the nearby Bach Khoa Stadium. The nightlife features self-study sessions in the Ta Quang Buu Library and vibrant music contests organized by student unions. You can easily reach this area by taking bus number 31.

If you’ve longed for the lively student environment and want to reconnect with that vibrant, youthful spirit, Ta Quang Buu Street should definitely be on your travel itinerary for 2025.
