The peaceful, old images of the 70s and 80s of the last century make not only the elderly but also the young feel nostalgic and regretful about a Hanoi that has long passed. The low wall surrounding the Imperial Academy has remained the same for many years.

The legendary corner of Trang Tien Street has always been a dating place for couples and a gathering place for boys and girls.

Nowadays, bicycle repairmen seem to be unemployed, but back then, on every street corner there would be a few mechanics sitting like this patching and pumping up tires on Hai Ba Trung Street.

Back then, there weren't many vehicles and life wasn't so rushed, so children had a lot of time to play with their neighbors, right on their own sidewalks.

Ngo Quyen Street is now bustling with traffic, but back then, it was rare to see a car, and even an official car, and most people just rode bicycles. The people of the street still comfortably sat on the sidewalk chatting and doing business.

The Hang Giay - Hang Dau intersection, the section opposite Hang Dau booth, is much more sparse and peaceful than it is now.

The clanging sound of the tram and the memories of skipping naps and jumping on the train to go out to play are probably still imprinted in the minds of the 7X generation in Hanoi.

Nguyen Khac Can market near Hoan Kiem Lake at that time was not much different from a rural market.

Kim Ma bus station is still crowded, only it's full of pedestrians, ox carts, and cyclos, not motorbikes and cars like now.
