Train Street and the West Edge
Train street, mural street and the way to the basecamp
The western edge is where the Old Quarter exhales. Phung Hung runs under the railway arches, now painted with murals of old Hanoi, and the train streets of Le Duan and Tran Phu draw visitors to watch trains pass a breath from the houses, subject to the current access rules. From here the city opens toward the Temple of Literature, and toward our quiet basecamp streets just outside the quarter.
