"You have probably heard of different markets that open at 8 am and end around 6 pm. Normally, you would buy what you needed in the market during the day and go home afterward. Well, in Hanoi things are a bit unconventional.
Located in the Old Quarter, Dong Xuan Market reflects the bustle and hustle of a driving society, not merely a crowded commercial point, but also a cultural, spiritual place of Hanoi.
"The market is very diverse and suitable for all interests, with various kinds of goods, such as fabrics, spices and fruits as well as the unavoidable sight of all the pets and rare animals that make their way to the butchers, such as turtles and frogs. This recording features the most visceral part of the market, in which the vendors prepare fish to be sold to customers."
