In the center of Ha Noi is Hoan Kiem lake. Next to it ís the Old Quarter or what called the 36 streets, a labyrinth of old streets, evolved in the 13th century when artisan guilds were concentrated along each of the original 36 lanes, and clustered by speciality; Silver street, silk street, mats street, paper street, etc. Each of the 36 craft once had its own communal house, however, like most of the quarter’s pagoda and temple, they were shut down during the communist takeover and transformed into schools or public housing.
