The Hoan Kiem District has stepped up its efforts to ensure public hygiene, enforce traffic regulations, and maintain urban order during the holiday.
Earlier, the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs announced that Vietnam's National Day holiday will be observed from August 31 to September 3 this year.
Civil servants are subject to four consecutive days off.
Since 1997, the walking area around Hoan Kiem Lake and surrounding areas in downtown Hanoi has become a brand, a cultural avenue, and a highlight of the capital city.
Covering an area of more than 25 streets and alleys in the Old Quarter, the pedestrian zone is closed to traffic from Friday night to Sunday midnight.
It helps to boost the tourism industry, create a new lifestyle for Hanoi's people, and promote the capital's image as a UNESCO City for Peace.
