Book street – Popular “check -in” spot for youth
Starting on May 1, 2017, the December 19 street has transformed from the so-called “hell market” to book street, a favorite destination of Hanoians, particularly the youth.
Dinh Le street is also hailed as the Book Street of Hanoi. However, coming to the December 19 book street, readers will join a quieter, more beautiful atmosphere. At the December 19 book street, there are not only book shops of all kinds, but also book cafes and a conversational space between authors, critics and readers. Only 200m long, but the street is very spacious with 16 individual stores of 16 publishers that were designed and constructed harmoniously with the landscape. From the main brown tone, readers can feel the friendliness and comfort. After the opening ceremony, the book street is always crowded. Recently, the number of people coming to this street has decreased during weekdays. Yet, on weekends, the December 19 book street is always a must-go destination.
