Description and is it worth a visit
Hang Ma Street on the northern outskirts of the tourist district of Hanoi is called in many guidebooks the most beautiful street of the capital and an attractive attraction. It really stands out among other shopping streets of the old town with bright storefronts, as they sell colored paper decorations and maxi for traditional religious rituals, beautiful lanterns, toys, gift wrapping. The thing is that each of the old streets of old Hanoi specializes in some kind of product, and it just so happens that it is here that all the most elegant things are sold.
The street really looks elegant, but, in our opinion, to call it a worthwhile landmark and a place to visit is, nevertheless, an exaggeration. As a maximum, you can take a few photos or a couple of selfies here, and no more. Of the purchases here, you can buy only a beautiful flashlight, we didn't find anything else interesting here.
🕐 Working hours
It is best to visit Hang Ma Street in the afternoon or evening before sunset, when the lanterns are beautifully illuminated. Just keep in mind that most of the shops here are closed in the evening, so you won't see much.
