Peaceful life of Hanoi 100 years ago

Seem to be more quiet than the present Hanoi capital, Hanoi streets in the early of 20th century only saw the participation of pedestrian, rickshaws, trams, etc. One can touch the peaceful and “pristine” Hanoi when seeing the ancient blocks of two or three stories along the Hanoi’s Old Quarter.

Followings are some photos of 100-year-ago Hanoi capital, describing a quiet and peaceful life of local Hanoians:
