VietNamNet Bridge – Being not favored by passers, the Nga Tu So pedestrian tunnel (Hanoi) has become an ideal place for people to exercise, learn how to dance. Some elderly people said they do exercise and dance in the tunnel for about an hour every day.

Being put into use in July 2007, the capital's first pedestrian tunnel
 is now a place for people to exercise daily. Signs that are difficult
 to understand, which passers easily mistake as a door-
so very few people use the tunnel.
With a length of almost 500 meters, the tunnel has become an ideal Marathon track.


People who walk through the tunnel encounter obstacles – amateur 'athletes.'
Early in the morning, on their way home, housewives hang
 food on handrails and exercise.
For the elderly in this area, the tunnel is the best place for walking.
Mr. Trang, 62, said that, the tunnel is warm in the winter and
cool in the summer so every day he spends around an hour here to do exercise.
It also appears a hip-hop dance class of the youth. Some people
said youngsters practice hip-hop here every day.
This space is not large but enough to make the dance floor.
A shuttle-cock training ground.
Handrails become sports instruments.
Many people exercise in the tunnel while there is no toilet so
 many corners have been used as toilets.
