St Joseph Cathedral, Hanoi's nightlife is just beginning at 10pm

Around the oldest church in Hanoi, St Joseph Cathedral, there are several lively streets spreading in all directions. Local young people pull a small bench on the street and start their life in the second half of the night.

There are both fresh and elegant boutiques and down-to-earth local snack shops. A small cart and a few plastic benches attract a constant stream of foreign tourists and local residents.
