Tran Quoc Pagoda is the oldest pagoda in Vietnam, with over 1500 years of history. It was built in the 6th century under the Ly Nam De dynasty. It is one of the must-visit places when visiting Hanoi.
Since the temple was built on the riverbank, the pagoda could not avoid landslides and natural erosion. This has had a negative impact on the pagoda. Therefore, in 1615, the pagoda was relocated to a hill (Kim Nguu or the Golden Buffalo) in the Waste Lake.

In the early 19th century, the French introduced the baguette to the Gia Định region (Sài Gòn) to satisfy their refined culinary passion. In order to produce many fresh and delicious breads to meet the needs of the upper class, they built the first brick ovens in Vietnam.
This bread of French origin quickly gained popularity and became commonplace. It was at this time that the people of Sài Gòn transformed the baguette into a characteristic bread of Vietnam, measuring only about 30 to 40 cm long. Its well-enclosed structure allows for the retention of moisture from the Indochina ovens, making the baguettes hollow, with a soft crumb and crispy crust. It is also this characteristic that gives Vietnamese bread its distinct identity compared to Western bread.

In the past, Dong Xuan Market consisted of two market areas located near the Cau DongTemple (Hang Duong Street) and the Bach Ma Temple (Hang Buom Street). In 1890, the French evacuated these two market areas and built the Dong Xuan Market (at its current location), consisting of five pavilions. The roofs were made of sheet metal. The facades were in the French architectural style, with five arcades, adorned with honeycomb-shaped motifs. The five sets of cast iron beams, transferred from Aháp (each measuring 52m long, 19m high, 25m wide), served as the main structure for the market. The entire market covered an area of ​​about 6,500 square meters.
