Old East Gate

About Old East Gate

Cua O Quan Chong, or the Old East Gate, is the only city gate that remains from the time when Hanoi was a mediaval city. There were originally 16 gates providing access into the walled old city. The Old East Gate is located within the Old Quarters of Hanoi, at a narrow street corner between Hang Chieu and Dao Duy Tu Street.

Getting there

Old East Gate is located along Hang Chieu lane. From Ho Hoan Kiem, take Hang Dao Street which is located on the north end of the lake. Continue along Hang Dao until it becomes Hang Ngang Street, and continue walking till it changes name again, to Hang Duong. You will reach the junction with Hang Chieu - be on the look out for roadsigns. There, you turn right and walk a short distance before reaching the Old East Gate in front of you.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
