Step aboard the "clanging" electric train to the Metropole Tet Market 2019.

The first stop on this year's Tet market tour at the Metropole Hotel Hanoi is a tram "station" located on Le Phung Hieu Street, modeled after the image of an old tram.

Each lobby of the hotel is decorated like a different tram station from old Hanoi, featuring miniature models of Dong Xuan Market, Hanoi's Old Quarter, and the historic Long Bien Bridge.

Mr. William J. Haandrikman, General Manager of the Metropole Hotel, shared: “We welcome all our esteemed guests to come and shop for luxurious and unique gifts for the upcoming Lunar New Year of the Pig.”

The Metropole Tet Market features over 15 renowned brands offering a diverse range of products to meet Tet shopping needs, from Tet jams and high-quality organic food to handicrafts, fine wines, teas, and premium beers, as well as high-end fashion brands such as Valenciani, Le Thanh Hoa, SHE, Bonpoint, Da Loc, C-Brewmaster, Dai Nam Thai Y Vien, Fargreen, Orfarm, Nature Queen, Viet Culture, Vivy handicraft, Three Tree Jewelry, Huong Jewelry, and Liti Florist. Visitors can not only embark on a journey through time but also participate in a culinary adventure with Hanoi's Old Quarter cuisine, including pho, bun cha, and banh cuon.
