Pedestrian and motorcycle traffic moves through a busy commercial street in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Stores advertise their wares on large signs mounted over the doors.
Apartments, some with balconies, are built on the second floors. Often shopowners’ families reside there.
A group of young boys walks together at left near the shop entrances.
