Hanoi's Old Quarter is a tiny jam-packed little district north of Hoan Kiem Lake. Far from being a tourist trap, it teems with life of daily commerce, living and is, of course, filled with tourists. Imagine an unsanitised version of Singapore's Chinatown, the old Bugis Street and Little India all rolled into one, a throwback to Singapore of the tuberculous 1960s.
Vendors of all kinds ply the streets of the Old Quarter.
