Shopping Around the Old Quarter – Hanoi

 Located near Hoan Kiem Lake in Hoan Kiem District, this is Hanoi’s major commercial district. The ancient commercial streets which are named after their original businesses dating back about 1,000 years.

Entering a three story market, which we realize, is actually a wholesale bulk buy place.We thought it was a Mall. Regardless , we were able to buy a couple of wallets , some T Shirts and a cool flashlight.

The small shops in the area have interesting things to buy, including knockoff luggage, sports clothing, sunglasses etc. etc. As I have carry on luggage only, I bought seven beautiful silk scarves. I am hoping they are real silk .
