The Night Market of Long Bien

The Long Bien Market (in Hanoi) has just been selected as one of the seven most unique flea markets in the world by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine of the US.

It is one of the largest wholesale markets in Hanoi selling agricultural products and fruits from localities nationwide. The market is open all night and only becomes busiest from 10pm to 5am the next day.

Located at the foot of the historical bridge of Long Bien, the market seems to be a small society with many features, colours and sounds.
