NDO – The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport opened Nguyen Hue as a walking street on April 29, attracting around 3,000 pedestrians.
The project on upgrading and turning Nguyen Hue into a pedestrian street was started in September 2014 with a total investment of VND 470 billion (US$21.7 million).
The walking street, 670 metres long and 64 metres wide, features two musical water fountains with laser light beams, free wifi service and an information centre for tourists.
As many as 160 wooden chairs will be placed along the two sides of the street and 20 electric cars will be put into operation in the area.
In the coming time, Nguyen Hue street is scheduled to join its neighbouring streets: Le Loi, Ham Nghi and Dong Khoi to form a pedestrian area in Ho Chi Minh City.
