Cantonese Assembly Hall in Hanoi's Old Quarter combines western, eastern styles

The Art and Culture Center at 22 Hang Buom Street, Hanoi, also known as the Cantonese Assembly Hall, attracts many tourists for its typical architecture influenced by Western, Vietnamese, and Chinese cultures.

The Cantonese Assembly Hall was formed by the Cantonese community (China) about 400 years ago.

This used to be a place of religious activities and a place for trade activities of the Chinese community in old Hanoi. This ancient architecture was repaired from 2018 to 2021 to become an art exhibition center with the official name of the Culture and Art Center 22 Hang Buom Street.

This work still retains many ancient features, harmoniously combining Western - Vietnamese - Chinese cultures.

Covering 1,800m2, it is a large space with many impressive decorations, with both classic and modern styles.

This is a venue for impressive art exhibitions in Hanoi.
