Long Bien Market
Long Biên Market doesn't wait for daylight. By 3 a.m. the work is already well underway — porters moving through the dark with impossible loads, vendors arranging pyramids of fruit under fluorescent light, the whole city's produce passing through hands you'll never see again by morning. This is Hanoi before Hanoi begins.
