Staying longer in the capital city, you will be much clearer about how the locality set the name for streets, markets or places. In the old times, based on the local square shape, residents opened five gates corresponding to different directions including Chinh Bac (North Gate), Chinh Tay (West gate), Chinh Dong (East Gate), Tay Nam (Southwest gate) and Dong Nam (Southeast gate). Today, their vestiges have partly been remained as small streets within the Old Quarter. Due to that reason, it is understandable that Cua Dong area originated from a big gate dated back from hundreds years before. Under the French domination, the former part saw several modern buildings mostly catering for officials; meanwhile, the latter was an amazing display of elegant villas with solid protecting gates. Therefore, Cua Dong, among a matrix of streets and guilds in the ancient town, seems more outstanding than others in terms of total coverage and related facilities. You may be rather impressed by nice pavements for pedestrians and a green color covering the street.
