Hanoi’s Old Quarter at night comes alive with glowing lanterns, tantalizing street food scents, and lively crowds weaving through its narrow streets.  (1016)

Hanoi Old Town at night offered me another great opportunity for photography.

Another stroll through Hanoi Old Town with my camera in hand to capture the night scenes.

This walk began near the east side of Hoàn Kiếm Lake, outside the heart of the old town, and continued toward its center.

This is the southwest edge of Hanoi Old Town. From here, I walked toward the bustling center of the town.

The street became too crowded with people, so I intentionally moved to a quieter area away from the busiest part.

I walked in a circle and returned to this area.

I returned to the edge of the old town and continued walking toward where I started.
