Tran Xuan Soan Street

Tran Xuan Soan Street is a modern thoroughfare established during the French colonial period in Hanoi. It is named after a distinguished Vietnamese general from the Nguyen dynasty, who lived between 1849 and 1923. Alongside Ton That Thuyet, another notable general associated with King Ham Nghi, he played a key role in the Can Vuong movement in the early 20th century. Despite its eventual failure, this movement exemplified the fervent patriotism of the Vietnamese people and left a significant impact on the national consciousness. The street stretches for 450 meters, intersecting with the prominent thoroughfares of Hue and Lo Duc Street. ON this street, a famous oyster porridge eatery at No. 26 attracts crowds throughout the night, serving as a popular dessert spot for Hanoi's youth as well as foreign visitors. The combination of stir-fried oysters melds beautifully with the rich porridge, enhanced by fried onions, pepper, and Quay, making it a must-try for anyone who visits the area. Additionally, the Duc Vien Buddhist Pagoda at No. 04 stands as a serene and revered site, where locals come to pray on festive days. You can reach these locations easily by taking bus routes No. 30 or 25.
