SHOPPING

Hang Gai (Silk Street)

$Local

Visit Tan My Design (61 Hang Gai) for high-end embroidery—the highest quality craftsmanship in the city. Browse silver on Hang Bac street nearby.

A good place to shop if you’re willing to compare quality across stores. Go in the daytime when shops are fully open, and don’t buy the first thing you see. Treat it like a browsing street, not a single destination.
