In addition to the Declaration of Independence, the organization of the national holiday was determined. Furthermore, the personnel decisions for the provincial governments were taken here.

Since nobody is there to ask what to visit, we also look to the upper floors. We end up at the housetop terrace from where we allow ourselves some views of the roofs of Hanoi again.

Đồng Xuân Market

The next stop is the Dong Xuan Market. It is Hanoi’s largest covered market.

The building was built in 1889 by the French colonial administration. Since then it has been thoroughly renovated several times. The last time in 1994, after a devastating fire.

On the market, you can buy clothes, household articles and food. Unfortunately, filming is not allowed by the security personnel.

Passing many other shops, restaurants and cafés, we reach O Quan Chuong.

O Quan Chuong

O Quan Chuong is the east gate to the old town of Hanoi. It is the only preserved gate of the old wall of the citadel.

The two-storey gate, built in 1749 and restored in 1817, is an example of the typical architecture of the Nguyen Dynasty.

It became a symbol of Vietnam’s will of resistance and desire for freedom. Once, a general held the gate with 100 men against the advancing French troops. Since 1994, O Quan Chong is recognized as a historic site.
