Situated in the heart of Ninh Binh City within Ninh Binh Province, Hoa Lu Old Street, despite its name suggesting an ancient quarter, is a newly constructed area designed in a traditional style for tourists. In my opinion, this location is a must-visit when traveling to Ninh Binh to experience Vietnamese traditional culture and style, even though the street is relatively small.

Within Hoa Lu Old Street, you'll discover a variety of restaurants and souvenir shops offering unique handmade crafts from nearby traditional craft villages, including a renowned ceramic village in Ninh Binh. I recommend visiting this area after dusk when the street corners are illuminated by colorful lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere that feels like a journey back in time. You can also take a boat on the outer lake to view the area from afar, where you'll feel like an ancient poet traveling along the river, taking in the scenery and enjoying the breath of nature.
