It is recognizable by the medieval wooden and bronze signs bearing the names of pharmacies that have survived for centuries.

Oriental medicine here is known for its diverse treatment techniques and methods as well as the medical teachings handed down by its predecessors. One of them was Hai Thuong Lan Ong (Le Huu Trac's alias), who had the humane motto of "life for all", the spirit of "lifelong learning", and the medical teachings of eight values that a good doctor should have: "Humanity - Virtue - Generosity - Humility - Clarity - Wisdom - Sincerity - Diligence". Another was Zen Master Tue Tinh and his influential view: "Vietnamese medicine to cure Vietnamese people".

In 2014 and 2015, Hoan Kiem District carried out the renovation of Lan Ong Street. 

Medicinal herbs are on display at the event.
