The street stretches over 1km, of which Pham Ngu Lao is 215m long, Chu Van An 350m and Vo Thi Sau 480m.
In addition to rearranging tourism services, the city authorities are also mobilising and supporting household businesses to open new forms of services.
The route also features street art and music performances, along with a typical Hue cuisine area.
The city will also arranges parking areas for visitors’ vehicles, while providing free of charge parking for locals in these three streets.
