Bach Dang Street

Why Bach Dang Street is special ?

That is the reason why Bach Dang Street still has many old French architectures like Champa Graving Museum and the City Library. Formerly, the road was called “Quai Courbet” which means the riverside road, but in 1956 its name was changed to Bach Dang Street and that name has been remained until today. The road has only one direction that runs along Han Rivers with the large sidewalk for the people to witness the magnificent scenery of the river and the city on the other side. Also, from 7 pm every day, the road turns to be a walking street with the appearance of many services and attraction like shopping areas, entertainment areas and traditional culture areas.
