Hanoi: Walkway around Truc Bach Lake ‘dresses up new clothes’
Once a spontaneous landfill and a gathering place for social evils, the walkway around Truc Bach Lake became tidy and beautiful thanks to a social-environmental clean-up campaign.
An urban embellishment project has been implemented on the walkway along Truc Bach Lake (Truc Bach Ward, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi) in order to improve the living environment for local residents. |
| The project is carried out on a 200m-long walking path that separates Truc Bach Flower Garden and 28 households in the area. |
| The road is decorated with colorful lanterns and large posters with the message of protecting the environment and repelling plastic waste. |
Flower beds are also arranged around the lake, creating a romantic landscape for the lakeside path during the daytime. |
| The walkway becomes fancier at night, under the gorgeous lights of hundreds of high-hanging lanterns. |
| These Hanoi-themed mural paintings are expected to improve local residents' awareness about the environmental protection. |
| This is the first time local residents have had a chance to enjoy such a beautiful and clean walkway around Truc Bach Lake. |
