Small alley but heart is thousands of miles

Although Hanoi has many long and wide roads, the image in cultural memory of this city is still "small alleys, small streets, my house is there" as in the familiar song "Hanoi and I" by musician Le Vinh. There are many frames depicting the simplicity of small street corners but enough to become a characteristic of Hanoi. If the main roads and rivers are the large arteries of the city, then the small streets and alleys are the capillaries that nourish the urban body.
