HÀ NỘI — On Sunday, the Friends of Vietnam Heritage (FVH) will host a city walk to discover Ðồng Xuân Market.
The three-hour English tour, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., will commence at Bạch Mã Temple and wind through some of the streets of the Old Quarter, highlighting the concept of the "36 trade streets", where each street is named after the original product or service of the individual trade guilds.
The group will visit Bạch Mã Temple, a communal house, the last remaining city wall gate, Ðồng Xuân Market and Huyền Thiên Temple.

On Thursday, the FVH will also organise a screening of three short movies by directors who were students at the Centre for Assistance and Development of Movie Talents (TPD).
