"STEEL STREET"
THE OLD QUARTER, HANOI
Image number 886
Hanoi's Old Quarter boasts thirty six streets dating back more than a thousand years which, by tradition, specialise in separate commodities, including silk, paper used in funerals, jewellry, shoes and, in this case, stainless steel. In these streets most shops sell the same products. The steel street is very noisy and has a special character.
