Tour 1: The Legacy of the Thang Long-era craft guilds in Hanoi today
The most unique feature of Hanoi’s Old Quarter is undoubtedly its guild streets. Centuries ago, each street specialized in the production and sale of just one kind of handicraft. In time, the streets were named after those products, with the word “Hang”, meaning “shop” or “merchandise” added in front. To this day, some of the streets still trade in their original products, like Hang Bac (Silver Street), Hang Thiec (Tin Street) and Lan Ong (Traditional Medicine Street).
