OLD QUARTER REVIEWHàng Mã
Original trade: Votive paper and festival decor. The most colourful street in the quarter before Tet and Mid Autumn, full of lanterns and paper goods.
Like every street in this quarter, Hàng Mã 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.
