Single panels and billboards themed the Covid-19 fight, the August Revolution, the National Day, President Ho Chi Minh, and General Vo Nguyen Giap will be hung at the public buildings.
In addition, artistic lighting will be installed at 12 main roads and arterial avenues of the capital such as Phan Dinh Phung Street, Dien Bien Phu Street, Pham Hung Street, and Thang Long Avenue, among others.
The large artistic lighting archways will be installed at five major locations in the city, including Vo Chi Cong Street; August Revolution Square; traffic islands in front of the State Bank, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Cultural Palace.
A photo exhibition to disseminate on the Independence and August Revolution will be held at the Hanoi Exhibition Information Center (No.89 Dinh Tien Hoang Street., Kiem District, Hanoi).
