Peach Blossom “In the first month, peach blossoms bloom brightly - Welcoming spring, showing fresh pink colors”
The last days of the lunar year always bring us a strange feeling, both hurried and wanting everything to be complete. On the streets of Hanoi, amid the bustle of the city, vehicles carrying peach branches have appeared everywhere as if bringing spring to every home.
Pick up guests at the meeting point. Take guests to start walking at Hoan Kiem Lake, visit the Old Quarter: the heritage Old House at 87 Ma May, one of the few houses preserved and maintained by the City of Hanoi as a sightseeing and exhibition site, providing information about Hanoi's history. This is one of the cultural addresses that visitors find hard to miss when coming to Hanoi's Old Quarter.
The total area of the house is 157.6m2, built perpendicular to the street, with a land length of 28m, a frontage width of 5m and a rear width of 6m.
The house bears the characteristics of an ancient Hanoi house, in tube-house form, multi-purpose. The house is narrow horizontally but very deep, the sections separated by inner courtyards. The outer section is a shop, with no wall but open to the street to display goods. Inside there is a separate courtyard. Next is the rear room, storeroom and kitchen; the second floor is the worship space and bedrooms.
What makes it hard for visitors to Hanoi's Old Quarter to skip visiting the house at 87 Ma May is that, in addition to learning about the living space and typical architecture of an old Hanoi townhouse, the house at 87 Ma May is also one of the addresses that regularly organizes cultural events.

On the major roads, streams of people are bustling and hurried; everyone rushes to make the most of every minute to prepare for their Tet, which is coming very soon.
