Hanoi Shopping

Souvenir shopping in Hanoi

  1. A

    Life Photo Gallery

    Finely printed enlargements of Do Anh Tuan's documentary photography cover the walls of this small shop. Do has been capturing reflective and provocative images, mostly in B&W, since 1971. A 5x7-inch print (US$12) makes a nice gift or keepsake.

    L'image

    This brightly lit shop gleams and glitters with the baubles displayed on its shelves. The jewellery is a celebration of beads and metalwork, much of it rather folksy and colourful. If nothing strikes your fancy, peruse the collection of impressive bronze teapots, copper buddhas, lacquered picture frames and other potential gift items.

    Hanoi Gallery

    For communist-propaganda art posters there are several good places on Hang Bac in the Old Quarter, including Hanoi Gallery.
