Hang Bong (French language: Rue du Coton) is a street in ancient quarter of Hanoi. It continues from the crossroad Hang Bong-Hang Gai-Hang Trong-Hang Hom to the former city gate Cua Nam (South Gate) with length about 932 m. Hang Bong was once a street which produced cotton to make clothes or winter blankets. Today Hang Bong is one of the busiest streets of Hanoi for shopping with art galleries, silk shops, and clothes shops.
