Description
Explore the Thieves Market in Hanoi on a photo tour. Capture the essence of the market on camera as you wander through the myriad stalls and alleyways.
Venture deep into Hanoi's most photogenic street market. Explore the Sky Market or Thieves Market, a shadowy bazaar full of faces and strange offerings, with the afternoon sunlight streaming through the makeshift roof.
No-one knows exactly how long the Sky Market or Thieves Market has been in existence, but it has an immortal feel to it. Tiny stalls cram next to each other, selling everything under the sky, from motor parts to timber, spices to vintage electronics. That’s the reason for the first name.
But traditionally, people also stop here first if looking for anything that’s gone ‘walkies’, giving it the second title. All of this makes it a great place to get lost with your camera.
The myriad stalls and alleyways provide readymade frames for decisive moments. Wander into a century-old colonial HQ, now converted into a pensioners’ ping pong club. Along the way, put together a stunning photographic story of life in one of Hanoi’s most fascinating markets.
