Viet Dong Guildhall

Viet Dong Guildhall is a two-story building on Hang Buom Street featuring traditional Cantonese architectural elements and ornate detailing throughout. The structure displays characteristic features typical of merchant houses from this era.

The building was established as a meeting place for Cantonese merchants during the active trading period between Vietnam and China. It shows several centuries of business relations and mutual connections between these regions.

The exhibition spaces display objects and documents that show the long connection between Vietnamese and Chinese communities. Visitors can see how trade and exchange shaped daily life in this district.

Access to the building is available daily, and tours are offered in Vietnamese and English. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the interior contains narrow rooms and stairways.

The building preserves its original wooden beams and stone foundation from the time of construction, making it one of the few structures of its kind in northern Vietnam. The craftsmanship of these original elements is visible immediately upon entering.
