Medicine shops on the Lan Ong street
The project aims to restore facades and preserve the architectural spaces of the street, improve the living quality of residents, as well as make the street a destination for domestic and international tourists who want to learn about the traditional trade and therapies.
The street is named after famous physician Hai Thuong Lan Ong, born Le Huu Trac (1720-1791). The street is a delight of textures and smells emanating from the sacks of herbal medicinal products including leaves, roots, barks, and powders.
So far, about 85% of local residents still keep their traditional trade.
