Recently, many localities from across the country have organised cultural art programmes on the walking street around Hoan Kiem Lake to introduce local culture and promote their destinations to tourists.
In March 2017, Quang Binh province organised ‘Quang Binh in the heart of Hanoi’, with activities such as a photo exhibition and performances in “Ca Tru” (ceremonial singing) and “ho khoan” (a genre of Vietnamese folk music from Le Thuy district), as well as introducing the caves of Quang Binh.
Meanwhile, Ben Tre province has introduced Don Ca Tai Tu (traditional musical art form of the south) whilst Quang Nam province has promoted Bai Choi singing performance in Hanoi.
In addition, the walking street around Hoan Kiem Lake is a place in which international artistic programmes can converge, including some of the world's most famous art programmes. In March 2017, the world-famous London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) presented the open-air ‘Vietnam Airlines Classic – Hanoi Concert 2017’, in Hanoi. Earlier, in September 20016 an art troupe from Russia also performed in walking street.
