60 Square Hanoi - boutiques, cafes in a heritage space
For more on Hanoi 60 Square see Rusty Compass -
Hanoi’s 60 Square is a little enclave of heritage buildings hosting cafes, boutiques and a developing art scene. It’s a little away from the centre of the city in a hectic urban area in Dong Da District. If you love dilapidated architecture, and gritty cafes, this place is well worth a look. We headed out a couple of times recently. A Friday evening of Vietnamese music from the 1960s was a highlight.
Is the tide turning in favour of heritage preservation in Vietnam?
For more on heritage in Vietnam, check the blog -
We recently posted a video about the planned demolition of historic Bui Chu Cathedral in Vietnam's north. The demolition has been cancelled. And other recent decisions suggest that heritage may finally be getting proper consideration in Vietnam's rush to develop.

“Uesu (Waste)”
Used dust cloths, original material of the work, came from the Hanoi market, where artist and collaborators gave new dust cloths to market people, in trade for their old ones. Hundreds of old dust cloths were sewn together. And, artist/collaborators swept the streets in downtown Hanoi with the big patched dust cloth. Traces of cleaning/scratching on the surface of the cloth remain as a result of ordinary use, of collective action, and of painterly/sculptural gestures.

Heritage House at 87 Ma May In Hanoi - Tube House
BRAND NEW!!! Check out my DJI Osmo Pocket Test Footage:
This is a typical Hanoi Tube / Rocket house. It looks narrow from the outside but it is spacious once you step inside. The people preferred building narrow house because the buildings were taxed by their width.

Vietnam 2019: Touring Hanoi Old Quarter
Roaming around Hanoi Old Quarter
Imperial Citadel of Thang Long 2017 Travel to Hanoi Vietnam
The Hanoi Citadel (Vietnamese Hoàng thành Thăng Long) is a cultural complex that includes the first royal corps of the Li dynasty, and then expanded during the Chan, Le and the Nguyen Dynasty. Ruins roughly coincide with today's Hanoi Citadel.
The royal palaces and most of the buildings in Thang Long were to some extent destroyed by the end of the 19th century because of the actions of the French army during the conquest of Vietnam (Thang Long is the old name of Hanoi). In the 20th century, the complex was still collapsing because of ongoing wars. Only at the beginning of the 21st century systematic excavations began.
December 28, 2007 The central part of the Royal Citadel Thanglong-Hanoi was classified as an architectural monument of national importance, and on August 12, 2009 it was declared a Special National Monument.
The central complex of the imperial citadel was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on July 31, 2010 at 34 sessions in Brazil.
The central part of the Royal Citadel Thanglong-Hanoi is located on an area of 18.000 sq.m. In the area of excavations on Hoangjeu Street, at No. 18, and on the territory of the ancient Hanoi Citadel.
The central part of the Royal Citadel includes some land objects, among them the earliest is the date of the year 1467, the foundation of the Kintkhien palace, built during the early Le dynasty, and stone steps, stone rails with carved dragons. Doanmon gates (ie, the South Gate) are preserved, leading to the Forbidden City in the citadel. And from the Hanoi Citadel under the Nguyen Dynasty, the North Gate and the Flagstaff Tower are preserved. Preserved and some French military facilities, for example, the headquarters of artillery, built on one part of the foundation of the palace Kintkhien
In 1998, archaeologists conducted reconnaissance excavations at the foot of the Southern, Northern Gates and the Palace of the Princesses. There they found many relics dating back to the reign of the Li and Chan dynasties. Later, in 2008, on another excavation site in the middle of the road from the South Gate to the founding of the Kintkhien Palace, the scientists found traces of the Royal Court of the Le Dynasty, covered with typical tiles for this era. Important materials were discovered during the excavation from December 2002 to 2004 in House No. 18 of Hoangseu Street. On the territory of 19.000 sq. M. We found a whole complex of artifacts and monuments covering a long period of history: until the 11th century (that is, until the foundation of Thanglonga), then the period of Thanglong's existence and up to the present Hanoi period. The excavation area expanded to 33,000 sq.m. The cultural layers found were located on each other, architectural monuments, drainage systems, wells, foundations of columns and walls, traces of a river bed of ancient rivers and lakes were discovered.
Remnants of the Imperial City were discovered at the site of the meeting hall of Badin, when it was demolished in 2008, to free up space for the construction of a new parliament building. Various archaeological finds that have been found are exhibited in the National Museum. So far only a small part of Thang Long has been excavated.
Among the buildings associated with the imperial city stands the famous tower of Hanoi. Its height is 33.4 meters (with the flag - 41 meters). The tower is a symbol of the city. Built in 1812 during the Nguyen Dynasty, the tower, unlike many other buildings in Hanoi, was not destroyed. During the French domination over Vietnam (1885-1954), it was used to observe the surroundings and as a point of communication between headquarters and remote military posts.
The famous tower is not included in the citadel territory, usually shown to tourists. You can view it separately from the fortress, passing in the direction of the Military History Museum of Hanoi. As of 2013, the entrance fee to the fortress is 30,000 VND, which is about 1.5 US dollars. Most of the complex is open for inspection. Only some of its parts are closed from visitors in connection with the behavior there of archaeological works. Also, the northern part of the fortress is still used by the army of Vietnam, and access there is impossible.
