Thang Long - Hanoi is considered an area having a hundred trades as reflected in a proverb: "With skillful hands and expertise at work, they are people from the capital". Each old street was a residing place of people who were engaged in a traditional craft. Visiting the old quarter of Hanoi is to visit craft streets, which were established under Ly dynasty (11^th century), from where innumerable generations of artisans and skilled workers were born. They produced many products to built the capital into a prosperous and beautiful city. Many villages in the outskirts of Thang Long - present-day Hanoi also have unique traditional crafts. Developing the traditional craft streets and villages in combination with tourism will bring high cultural-economic values in the process of global integration while preserving national identities.
