Hanoi, after the war began

By Ngoc Thanh   February 17, 2017 | 11:23 pm PT
Rare photos of a city scarred and broken by a historic battle that marked the beginning of the resistance war against the French.

This is what the capital city looked like after the historic 60-day Battle of Hanoi in late 1946.

The photos, taken by the late Hanoi residents Nguyen Duy Kien, Tran Van Nhung and Tran Van Ve, can be found at an exhibition at Ho Guom Culture Information Center, 2 Le Thai To Street. It will be open until February 27.
