Welcome to Dong Da and its winding lively alleys. In a neighborhood stuck between huge Xa Dan and busy Ton Duc Thang lies an abandoned post office from French colonial rule, brought back to life by young artists and hip entrepreneurs and now home to a few cafés, vintage and handmade shops, quirky music scenes and teahouses. This art space is known as Sixty Square and it was supposed to close down for destruction in early 2019... Somehow it lives on and please take a detour to see it before it eventually disappears. Do not miss its banyan trees, its Chinese influence temple, its pond surrounded by KTT blocks and the crumbling buildings slowly taken over by vines. Grab a coffee or three and enjoy the art and timeless charm. The essence of Hanoi in a single serving.
The cache is only accessible during the opening hours of the parking lot which are wide but unpredictable. Safe bet to come during the day. Some cafés are closed on Mondays. 5k motorbike parking fee and this gets you countless charming views.
