A place to visit alone or as a couple, an ideal discovery to understand Hanoi.

You don’t have to go with a guide. It’s much more interesting to wander around the market bays alone. Prices are much cheaper than on the shopping streets. An ideal place to buy a North Face backpack, negotiated three times cheaper. For food lovers, it is in this market that you have to buy black pepper, very strong in taste and fragrant. Price about 200,000 dongs per kilo.
