Hanoi, Vietnam—Early morning along the tracks in Hanoi’s old quarter. Long Bien Market, where vendors clash and shout at dawn while a rickety train rattles along up above.

In narrow lanes motorbikes and bicycles rush around corners carrying everything from kegs to entire families. Kitchens and living rooms spill out onto the tracks. After the dawn rush calms, vendors relax on their pushcarts and count the morning’s haul.

I joined Vietnam in Focus for their morning photo tour and can’t recommend them highly enough.
