After Hoan Kiem Lake, Huong Pagoda is the second area in the city of Hanoi, to launch free wifi service.

The organising board of Huong Pagoda Festival said free wifi service will be provided for tourists during this year's festival, the longest-such event in Vietnam.
The annual Huong Pagoda Festival, which is organised from the sixth day of the first lunar month to the third lunar month, is scheduled to kick off on February 13. 
Authorities of My Duc district in collaboration with relevant agencies tried their efforts in providing free wifi service in order to create the most favourable conditions for visitors to attend the festival.
According to Vice Chairman of My Duc district’s People’s Committee Nguyen Van Hau, the organising board has set up plans to ensure traffic safety, social security and food safety during this year's festival. 
The board mobilises
nearly 4,400 boats participating to provide services for visitors during the festival.
