The most interesting street in the world in Hanoi

In March, the famous British travel magazine Time Out unexpectedly honored Quang An, Tay Ho district, Hanoi in the list of the most interesting streets in the world .

As described by Time Out, new businesses are constantly springing up along the 1km stretch, turning Quang An Street into a gathering place for cozy cafes, fashion stores and cuisine. It is only 5km from Hanoi's bustling Old Quarter and has many entertainment spots. What the British travel magazine feels most impressive is that the street corner is peaceful at noon but can transform and become bustling at night.

Quang An starts from the intersection between Tu Hoa street and Xuan Dieu street and extends to the intersection with Quang Khanh street.
