Spice sellers in a covered market in Hanoi. Chợ Cầu Gỗ (Chợ Market). Situated just north of Hoàn Kiếm Lake. There are many street markets around the city of Hanoi, some official and many more unofficial. Some of the unofficial sites are being shut down because they stray into the road and add to traffic congestion.
