Lots of shops on big streets in Hanoi such as Trung Kinh, Thai Ha and Nguyen Hong are being shut and seeking for new renters.

 Vinh, owner of a big house on Thai Ha Street, said that he had reduced the rent on a building to VND53 million (USD2,304) compared to a previous VND60 million (USD2,608), but no-one had expressed an interest in renting the property. 

Lien who was seeking to rent a shop in Hanoi said that it is quite easy to find a shop for rent in Thai Ha and Trung Kinh streets. She had quite a few choices.
