Discovering Hanoi’s ancient quarter

Heading into the 1,000th anniversary celebrations of Thang Long-Hanoi, the Eveil Center in Hanoi has organized three outdoor activities called ‘My Hanoi’ for interested people of all ages to discover the special features of the ancient quarter of Hanoi such as architecture, traditional craft villages, history attached to the noble feats of arms of the capital and discuss philosophy with Confucian scholars, artists and artisans. Especially, participants will join graphic depiction activities and traditional games at destinations stated in the program.
Hanoi’s ancient quarter comprises 36 streets and was born together with the ancient citadel of Hanoi under the Ly dynasty in the 11th century. These ancient streets have witnessed nearly ten centuries of historical events. Each house in this area has contributed to the architectural history of the quarter.
