Getting around the Hanoi obstacle course

Open manholes, debris, and blocked off sections of roads and sidewalks scattered all over Hanoi have made the city a dangerous maze. 

Below are several pictures of Hanoi’s mazes:




Many manholes on Nguyen Trai Street were broken into pieces by buses although they are renovated continuously


“Traps” in the middle of the road...


... drivers must be alert
Missing covers on Pham Hung Street


Who dares to cross over such a danger?


A manhole in front of Keangnam Tower on Pham Hung Street


Nam Trung Yen new urban area is littered with uncovered manholes


A manhole right at the intersection


Opened manholes under hot weather and rain



Students of Nam Trung Yen Secondary School play around the “traps”


Manholes are often “disguised” like this


A manhole on Me Tri Street...



An elderly woman was trapped during the Gala Night on the occasion of the 1,000 year anniversary of Thang Long – Hanoi
