The program provides students with cultural and historical tourism products and services in Hoan Kiem District. It enables students to enjoy exciting and creative experiences while digging into the city’s history.
The tourism model is expected to promote the Old Quarter and the French architecture area, improve the quality of comprehensive education, and equip students with knowledge about history, culture, and preservation of the city’s precious traditional values and heritage.
Tours include visiting and learning about Hanoi culture at the Hanoi Old Quarter Cultural Exchange Center, Heritage House No.87 Ma May, and Kim Ngan Communal House on Hang Bac Street.
This program, launched on the occasion of the 68th anniversary of the city’s Liberation Day (October 10, 1954 – October 10, 2022), is aimed to promote Hanoi’s typical cultural values among domestic and international visitors, according to Tran Thi Thuy Lan, Deputy Head of the Management Board of Hoan Kiem Lake and Old Quarter.
