Old Quarter ReviewLê Duẩn
Original trade: Train street south section. The southern train street section, visit only as current access rules allow.
Like every street in this quarter, Lê Duẩn began as a guild street of old Thang Long, where one craft or one trade gathered on one street and gave the street its name. Our full street story, filmed on location with Suzy, is in production for the channel.
About 23 minutes on foot from Hoan Kiem Lake (1.9 km by street).
