French photographer Sebastien Laval captured these phenomenal photos of the stunning streets of Hanoi at night. These photographs were captured by Laval in the Old Quarter of Hanoi, a city that takes on a completely different personality after-hours and in the middle of the night.

Laval first became enchanted by Hanoi during a visit to Vietnam in the mid-1990s, a time when the city was very different to today. He was completely taken with the people, architecture and the culture. He eventually wandered off the beaten path and followed [hidden side roads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nang-house) to reach completely hidden parts of the city for his photographs.

Hanoi at night is a stunningly beautiful place, where paradoxically enough, bright colors seem to come to light at dark due to the switching on of lights inside homes.

Ultimately, this photo series shows how a city can transform at night.
