WALKING STREET, AN INNOVATIVE PLACE IN HA NOI

Hanoi is changing. From an unknown city, Hanoi is flipping to another period of time with more development. 2 years ago, Hoan Kiem lake was not crowded, people came here for taking pictures but now it is changing to a very different lake. Management team of this lake decided to build walking street around lake in every weekend. In these days, there are a lot of interesting activities were held. Beside the rule that no bike, no car moving on this road, people also rebuild many traditional games that remind young people about Vietnamese history. Luckily, tourists seem really like those activities. This is a good way to connect people with many different ages.

This picture proposes one typically example. That kids enjoy playing “Ô ăn Quan”. This is a very familier game when I was young. Even now when I go back to my hometown, there are very few kids know how to play this game.
I was so supprised when I saw those kids, who living in big cities, can play together with a very exciting attitude.
I hope this kind of street can open more in other cities such as Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh, Hue… where people can enjoy culture space and collaborating place.
