Speaking at the opening ceremony of the program, Dang Huong Giang, Director of the Hanoi Department of Tourism, emphasized that Hanoi is not only renowned for its modern landmarks but is also a city that preserves hundreds of historical sites, ancient architectural complexes, and a system of lakes and green spaces that contribute to the capital’s unique beauty. In addition to its tangible cultural landmarks, Hanoi continues to uphold and promote its intangible cultural heritage, such as artistic traditions, festivals, and the elegant lifestyle of Trang An residents. With its blend of ancient charm and vibrant modern life, Hanoi truly stands out as an attractive destination for both domestic and international tourists.
Delegates inaugurate the “Truc Bach Night” tourism product and Route No. 6 tram at Ngoc Island, Ngu Xa.
In line with the Nighttime Economy Development Plan in Vietnam, approved under Decision No. 1129/QD-TTg dated July 27, 2020, by the Prime Minister, Hanoi’s tourism sector introduced 20 unique nighttime tourism products in 2023. These initiatives aim to capitalize on nighttime services, diversify Hanoi’s nighttime tourism offerings, and ensure sustainable, high-quality development, contributing to the socio-economic growth of the capital.
The “Truc Bach Night” tourism promotion program plays a significant role in reinforcing the city’s efforts to develop its nighttime economy through innovative tourism products, thereby fully and sustainably harnessing the capital’s potential. The enchanting nights of Hanoi, illuminated by shimmering lights and steeped in history through its winding streets, offer a unique model that allows visitors to discover a different side of Hanoi – charming, poetic, and profoundly serene.
A highlight of the event was the announcement of three city-level tourist sites: the Quan Thanh Temple (a Special National Monument), the Voi Phuc Temple, and Ngoc Island – Truc Bach. Additionally, two traditional crafts in Ba Dinh District were also unveiled, alongside the inauguration of new tourism products and the introduction of cultural spaces reminiscent of old Hanoi along Route No. 6 tram.
Visitors had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memories of one of Vietnam’s most distinctive historical periods – the subsidy period. For the first time in Hanoi, the entire event space was designed as a film set, recreating an authentic neighborhood with vintage tram cars, general stores, and more.
At the event, tourists could explore and experience the “Hanoi Street Museum,” featuring unique artistic performances, diverse culinary offerings, and quintessential Hanoi stories. Visitors also enjoyed the lively and vibrant atmosphere of various performances and activities.
