Stock Photo - As the oldest continuously developed area of Vietnam, Hanoi's Old Quarter has a history that spans 2,000 years and represents the eternal soul of the city. In the early 13th century the collection of tiny workshop villages which clustered around the palace walls evolved into craft cooperatives, or guilds. By the seventeenth century the city was protected by 16 gates which were locked at night by heavy wooden doors. The Quan Chuong gate built in 1744 still stands at the end of Hang Chieu street.
