History of Hanoi’ Old Quarter
The history of Hanoi’s Old Quarter spans 2000 years. It lies between the Returned Sword lake to the South and the Long Bien Bridge to the North. The former city rampart, now called Tran Nhat Duat Street, marks its East border and the citadel wall on Ly Nam De Street its West. Present-day Hanoi (Inside the River bend) was once a turtle and alligator-infested swamp, then a cluster of villages made up of houses on stilts. The villages were unified by Chinese administrator who built ramparts around their headquarters and called the area “Dominated Annam”. In the late tenth century the Vietnamese attained independence from the Chinese. King Ly Thai To made the city his capital in 1010 and gave it the nam Thang Long (Soaring Dragon).
A majority of the street names here start with Hang, which means merchandise or shop. The guild streets were for their product or location. For example, skilled silversmiths from Hai Hung province now occupy Hang Bac Street one of the most ancient streets in all Vietnam.
Each guid had its own patron saint to which many local temples are dedicated. Hang Bong Street has five such temples.
Because inhabitants of each street came from the same village and performed the same craft, streets developed a homogeneous look.
Although the area is often called the 36 old streets, there may have actually been more. Some believe that the number 36 came from the Fifteenth century when there might have been 36 guilds. Others attribute the name “36” to a more abstract concept. The number 9 in Asia represents “plenty”. Nine times 4 (the four directions) would make 36 which means simply: many.

History of Hanoi’ Old Quarter
The history of Hanoi’s Old Quarter spans 2000 years. It lies between the Returned Sword lake to the South and the Long Bien Bridge to the North. The former city rampart, now called Tran Nhat Duat Street, marks its East border and the citadel wall on Ly Nam De Street its West. Present-day Hanoi (Inside the River bend) was once a turtle and alligator-infested swamp, then a cluster of villages made up of houses on stilts. The villages were unified by Chinese administrator who built ramparts around their headquarters and called the area “Dominated Annam”. In the late tenth century the Vietnamese attained independence from the Chinese. King Ly Thai To made the city his capital in 1010 and gave it the nam Thang Long (Soaring Dragon).
A majority of the street names here start with Hang, which means merchandise or shop. The guild streets were for their product or location. For example, skilled silversmiths from Hai Hung province now occupy Hang Bac Street one of the most ancient streets in all Vietnam.
Each guid had its own patron saint to which many local temples are dedicated. Hang Bong Street has five such temples.
Because inhabitants of each street came from the same village and performed the same craft, streets developed a homogeneous look.
Although the area is often called the 36 old streets, there may have actually been more. Some believe that the number 36 came from the Fifteenth century when there might have been 36 guilds. Others attribute the name “36” to a more abstract concept. The number 9 in Asia represents “plenty”. Nine times 4 (the four directions) would make 36 which means simply: many.
