Hanoi’s Culture and Sport Department has started a programme to freshen up the appearance of the capital city, especially during major holidays and celebrations.

Trang Tien Street sparkles with decorations for the Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday.

The city is looking for designs for green areas, lighting systems and pavements for landmarks including Hoàn Kiếm Lake, the roundabout in front of the State Bank of Việt Nam, the city’s bridges and National Convention Centre as well as several of the city’s main streets.

The programme will accept designs in two phases: from 26-30 March and from 28-30 August. 

One of this year’s main themes is “Hà Nội for integration and development”.
