Another version of Hanoi's nightlife during pandemic time

In contrast to the bustling scenery in day, Hanoi at night becomes quieter than ever.

Hanoi at night looks like a still life painting during the nationwide social distancing period to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Hanoi – the heart of the country, is now less bustling and crowded due to the implementation of the social distancing order. At night, nearly absolute quietness reigns over the city, everything looks like still life paintings.
 Hanoi has changed much in these social distancing days.

Doors of the Saint Joseph Cathedral in Nha Chung street are closed without anyone around during the Easter week.

The intersection of Hang Bai – Dinh Tien Hoang – Trang Thi streets remains quiet at night as all the non-essential catering service establishments are ordered to temporarily close until April 15.
