Locations which are expected to offer free Wi-fi include Hanoi Zoo, Thong Nhat Park, Vietnam Military History Museum and Vietnamese Women’s Museum.
Earlier, on August 18th, the Hanoi People’s Committee has approved a policy of installing free Wi-fi at the locations. The installation aims to develop the city’s tourism in the 2016-2020 period and the following years. It is also part of activities to celebrate the 1010th anniversary of Thang Long – Hanoi and the 17th Hanoi Party Congress.
From August 2017 to now, the department coordinated with related departments, industries and telecommunications businesses to deploy free Wi-fi internet access in the form of socialization at some locations, such as: Hoan Kiem Lake, Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, Huong Pagoda scenic area and the Bat Trang Pottery Village./.
