The 36 ancient streets are not only landmarks deeply connected to the people of Hanoi but also a source of pride for the Vietnamese people regarding the thousand-year-old Capital. Each street is named after prominent business products such as Hang Bac, Hang Thiec and Hang Ma. These "Craft Streets" lined up in the heart of the ancient capital have created a distinctive feature of the liveliest district in the capital, preserving the cultural imprints of Thang Long – Ke Cho.
Inspired by nostalgic traces of a vibrant past in the ancient capital of Kinh Ky, the Wil’que Hotel brand chose this as the theme for its digital art competition titled "The Soul of Craft Streets." The competition took place at the end of the past October, drawing significant interest from the young art community in Vietnam.

The professional quality of these artworks received high praise from both the organizers and collaborative partners. The participants in the competition were diverse, ranging from the community of freelance young artists to those working in the field of design, or students from specialized graphic design training programs.
To demonstrate the commitment to the development of the Vietnamese artist and young artist community,besides awarding a prize package with a total value of nearly 50 million VND, including both cash and gifts, Wil’que also introduced an unprecedented privilege for any art competition before: illustrating all winning artworks into mural paintings and displaying them at the first Wil’que hotel project in Hanoi.
