Vietnam: Musical instruments for sale in the Old Quarter, Hanoi

Vietnam: Musical instruments for sale in the Old Quarter, Hanoi

Hanoi's Old Quarter lies immediately north of Ho Hoan Kiem lake. It's better known locally as Bam Sau Pho Phuong or the ‘Thirty Six Streets’. 'Phuong' means a trade guild, and most of the streets begin with the word 'hang' meaning merchandise. This ancient section of the city has long been associated with commerce, and it remains very much so today.
