Previously, the pedestrian space in Hoi An already included Tran Phu, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Bach Dang, Nguyen Phuc Chu, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Hoang Van Thu and Le Loi streets.
In the expanded space, Hoi An also arranged an array of cultural and entertainment activities such as folk games, cuisine market and an art street.
Since 2004, the pedestrian zone project, approved by the Hoi An People’s Committee, has been a unique tourism cultural product of the locality. It received the support of local people because of the actual benefit to the community, contributing to economic and tourism development of Hoi An./.
