Dong Xuan Market - Wholesale Market - Hanoi - Vietnam
Dong Xuan MarketThe Dong Xuan market, Vietnam's oldest and largest market, occupies half of Dong Xuan Street. River networks formed the economic hub of Hanoi by providing a system of waterways which fed the city and markets. Located at the confluence of the To Lich and Red Rivers, the Dong Xuan market was once one of the busiest urban areas in Southeast Asia. The French required merchants to bring their goods inside the fenced perimeter of the market in order to facilitate tax collections. When the number of merchants swelled, the market was enlarged. In 1889, a structure was built over it, and five gates were built leading to it. Each of the five market gates was used only for specified goods. In 1992, the market was renovated and a new facade erected.

Ha'Penny Bridge - Dublin
Ha Penny Bridge. Accepted as the symbol of Dublin, the Ha'penny Bridge (offically Wellington Bridge after the 'Iron Duke') was opened in 1816. Cast at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire in England, the bridge acquired its unofficial monniker from the toll paid to cross the river - one old half penny. The bridge is the only pedestrian bridge on the Liffey until the new planned bridge further up is constructed next year. The bridge has three lamps supported by curved ironwork over the walkway. Currently badly in need of repair, the bridge moves when being crossed. It is planned to close the bridge for restoration with the addidition of the new Millenium Footbridge.
