The Dong Xuan Joint Stock Company, in conjunction with Hoan Kiem District’s People’s Committee in Hanoi, is planning to launch a tour to explore old streets and go shopping at the Dong Xuan Market, as part of activities towards the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long–Hanoi, with an aim to attract more tourists to the city.

At present, the company is checking all stores for the quality and prices of goods as well as sellers’ behavior and attitude.

In addition, a large hall will also be built at the market to show short films about histories of Hanoi’s old quarters and the market.

Over the years, the market, one of the biggest in Hanoi, has become a place to preserve cultural values and helps reflect the life of the people in old-time Hanoi.
