The Old Quarter is the heart of Hanoi with a maze of streets dating back to the 13th century. Streets are distinctively named after its exclusive specialized product. The street names begin with 'Hàng' which means merchandise or shop and the second name represent the product.
Hàng đường was founded in the 15th century. During the French colonial era, it was named 'Rue Du Sucre' meaning Sugar Street as it was the wholesale center for candies, sweets and sugar canes.
Today, this 180m long street still retain its ancient trade in processing and selling all kinds of sugar and sweets, especially famous for its mứt - preserved fruits of all kinds: apple, banana, coconut, lemons, oranges, persimmons, pumpkins, ginger and others in various colours and shapes.
