This is considered as a special cultural and tourism product for Hanoi people and tourists to have chance to feel the space and soul of the old days in Hanoi.

The five-day event will feature four main activities; exhibition activities and installation art, decorative arts, cultural and art activities, and a celebration of the first foreign tourists to Hanoi in 2016.

Highlights of the event will be the installation of ancient streets and houses; the introduction of Hanoi’s traditional cuisines, and the art of flower arrangement.

Through the program, the municipal tourism sector expects to receive the attention of branches, localities, organizations, inpiduals, people and tourists to build more tourism products featuring the special traits of Thang Long-Hanoi./.
