Hanoi People's Committee is seeking the citizens’ opions to finalize the Regulations on activities in the walking space around Hoan Kiem Lake and the surrounding areas. There are a number of new points in the draft regulations, and the most noticeable one is that it recommends dressing politely and refraining from using indecent language in pedestrian streets around Hoan Kiem Lake. This is not the first time that such recommendations have been made, but this reminder is considered still necessary rather than redundant.
