Monday, 05/02/2018 17:50 (GMT+7)
The murals painted on the sealed archways of the railway viaduct on Phung Hung street, Hanoi have been completely finished, bringing a new, lively look to the area.
19 paintings by artists from Vietnam and the Republic of Korea (RoK) from November 2017.
The contemporary style paintings create a space that connects the city’s heritage with its artistic and community values.
Upon completion, the area will become a pedestrianised street linking to the space of Dong Xuan market,
to create a new highlight among the tourist spaces in Hanoi’s Old Quarter.
The paintings evoke Hanoi’s thousand years of culture, showing a city
which while facing great changes, always preserves its cultural and traditional quintessence.
