History

Hang Tre Street was close to the Red River bank, convenient for loading and unloading bamboos. Thus bamboos and timber were once the key contributors to infrastructure and major business on this street date back to hundreds of years ago. In the 19th century, the street was called Hang Cau Street because there were many stalls selling betel nuts at the end of the street. And after the August Revolution, it was renamed Hang Tre.

Presently, Hang Tre is home to a collection of kiosks for rent as well as a big entertainment hub for tourists and locals to frequent. To be found there are a large number of shops, restaurants, hotels and nightlife venues.
