Xuan Dieu Street

Xuan Dieu Street extends from Thang Long Bridge to the heart of Hanoi, covering approximately one kilometer. It connects the Au Co-Nghi Tam T-junction with the Quang An-Au Co T-junction. Together with Au Co Street, Xuan Dieu Street forms a crucial artery of the northwest gateway to the capital city of Hanoi.

For many years, Xuan Dieu Street has been recognized by Hanoians as the main route to Quang Ba swimming pool, bordered by lush rows of guava trees on either side. In 1996, Xuan Dieu officially became its designated name and has since emerged as one of the primary streets in Tay Ho District.

Xuan Dieu Street is also famous among international tourists as the pathway to Phu Tay Ho, featuring upscale resorts and prominent hotels adjacent to the picturesque West Lake. Although the street measures only about 4 meters in width, it is bustling with activity. On one side lies the tranquil West Lake, while the other side is lined with restaurants, villas, and hotels that are closely situated.

As previously mentioned, the street was once marked by fragrant guava trees lining both sides. The scent of guava was immortalized in the poem “Here Comes Autumn” by Xuan Dieu, a celebrated Vietnamese poet. While there are now fewer guava trees than before, during their season, local vendors sometimes sell fresh guavas along the sidewalks.

Strolling along Xuan Dieu Street allows visitors to experience the gentle breeze from West Lake, bringing with it delightful scents of guavas and pluchea leaves, creating a serene atmosphere perfect for leisurely walks.
