178- Hanoï Vietnam | Découvre avec moi le quartier historique

In this vlog, discover with me the historic district of Hanoi in Vietnam We will walk the streets of the city center and visit the Dong Xuan market We will also go for a walk around Hoàn-Kiêm Lake Hanoi means "the city between the rivers" in Vietnamese With its 8 million inhabitants, it is the capital of the country It is the only city, with Hoi An to have preserved its historic center and it is also located in the heart of lush vegetation in the center of the Red River Delta. You should know that in the 19th century the city had nearly 400 lakes, today there are just under 80 left. The historic district: It is more than 1000 years old It is called "Phố Cổ" in Vietnamese, it is also called the "district of 36 streets" At the time, this meant 36 streets with a different trade such as: the street of grilled fish, the street of copper, the street of medicinal plants... etc. Of course, there are not only 36 streets, there are almost double that number. The French modernized it by adding sidewalks and tiles on the roofs. There are quite a few "tube houses" there These are very narrow and tall buildings because, at the time, you had to pay a facade tax: the more facade you had, the more tax you had to pay, so people built everything in length It's a fantastic neighborhood, full of life and colorful There are a lot of streets to explore, such as: Hàng Giầy Street (the shoemaker street), Ta Hien Street, Hang Mam Street, Hang Thung Street, Hang Dao Street, Phố Hàng Thiếc Street, Đinh Liệt Street and Cau Go Street, Phố Hang Chai Street Continuing on Cau Go Street, you will arrive at the large Hoàn-Kiêm Lake, the walk around is very pleasant with a lot of trees lying on it. There you will see the famous red bridge (Cầu Thê Húc) leading to the small islet (Jade Island) You can also go see the Dong Xuan market With its 6500 square meters, it is the largest market in the city. I also recommend you to go see one of the city's entrance gates: "O Quan Chuong City Gate" located at the end of Hang Chieu Street at the intersection of Thanh Ha Street Another entrance to the district with an interesting view is the tunnel with a railway track above which is located at the end of Nguyen Thiep Street when you arrive from the side of Hang Dau Street [Trip made only on foot and by public transport] [I speak live on site] - - - - - - - - - - - SUMMARY: 00:00 - Introduction 00:16 - My arrival in Hanoi in the evening 00:50 - I look for my hotel 01:40 - Visit of the historic district 02:15 - There is a lot of traffic 08:55 - I approach Hoàn-Kiêm Lake 09:59 - History of Vietnam 10:54 - History from Hanoi 11:51 - Continuation of the street tour 12:02 - Dong Xuan market 13:32 - History of the historic center 14:35 - Continuation of the tour 15:29 - Explanation of the tube houses 16:42 - Excerpts from the next vlog - - - - - - - - - - - CREDITS: 🎵→ Music and video effects: Envato Elements (14.50€/month) here: https://1.envato.market/Ea9Bkn → Filmed with a DJI Osmo Pocket camera available here: https://amzn.to/36xRSj5 or here: https://amzn.to/3hzdQIF - - - - - - - - - - - FOLLOW ME AND SUPPORT ME: ▶ To subscribe to my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JeremieBald... ▶ My Instagram:   / jeremie.voyages   ▶ My blog: https://www.jeremiebaldocchiblog.com ★ If you like my channel, don't hesitate to support me here: https://fr.tipeee.com/jeremie-baldocchi
