After 10 months of construction, the project has been completed and put into operation. The inauguration ceremony, along with the unveiling of a commemorative plaque marking the 69th anniversary of the Liberation of the Capital (October 10, 1954 – October 10, 2023), and the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Long Bien District (November 6, 2003 – November 6, 2023), was ceremoniously organized by the Long Bien District Party Committee, People’s Council, People’s Committee, and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee on the morning of November 4, 2023.
Before the investment and upgrading, Long Bien Park faced numerous management and operational challenges. Now, following the completion of the project, Long Bien Park has addressed these issues, creating a green, clean, beautiful, and modern space. It has become a distinctive highlight in the landscape and architecture of the urban area, closely linked to the administrative center of Long Bien District.
