OLD QUARTER REVIEWHàng Gai
Original trade: Silk and hemp goods. The famous silk street: tailors, embroidery, galleries and lacquerware in heritage shophouses.
Like every street in this quarter, Hàng Gai began as a guild street of old Thang Long, where one craft or one trade gathered on one street and gave the street its name. Our full street story, filmed on location with Suzy, is in production for the channel.
