French quarter walking tour

The diversity of Hanoi’s Twentieth-century architecture, French colonialism, and Vietnamese Buddhism. Hidden Hanoi is all about unlocking the city’s secrets, and this tour is no exception. Hanoi’s French Quarter, which is the grid of streets south of Hoàn Kiếm Lake, is unique among Asian capital cities. It is packed with buildings from different eras in the city’s history. For example, it features ancient pagodas; classical European architecture; international modernist architecture (Avant-Garde Art Deco residences) as well as a fusion between Asian and French style architecture. Each of these styles is a tangible sign of the ideological shifts, which have influenced Vietnamese culture over the centuries. Much more than just bricks and mortar, they are monuments to the vision of French, Vietnamese and Soviet thinkers and architects.

Old quarter cultural walking tour

Traditional Architecture, Vietnamese Social Structures and lifestyles in the Old Quarter. We begin this experience in a very local coffee shop located at the bottom of the Old Quarter over looking Hoàn Kiếm Lake (the Lake of the Returned Sword), which holds one of the most popular remnants of traditional architecture. You will learn why the houses in the old quarter are very narrow, why most the street names are started with Hang, and much more. Then you have a walk into the 36 streets and guilds with the guidance of a very knowledgeable guide. The tour is finished by 30 minutes, relaxing on cycles and watching around the streets specialised in a specific product.
