TPO - On the evening of August 23, the opening ceremony of Hanoi Days in Ho Chi Minh City took place at Nguyen Hue walking street (District 1) with the theme of Hanoi's Red Marks. Since late afternoon, many people have come here to take photos, finding the romance of Hanoi under the sunset in the city center.

Since the afternoon of August 23, people have braved the sun to go to Nguyen Hue walking street to admire with their own eyes the typical works bearing the mark of the capital Hanoi.

According to the organizers, the event brings a vivid picture of the capital through documentary films and art performances with the participation of artists from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. "I am really impressed with the designs on display here. After browsing through the event, I am even more excited for my trip to explore the capital Hanoi early next month. I have noted down the places on display here to explore one by one. I am really excited," said Mr. Smith, an Australian tourist.

"I lived in Hanoi from 1955-1975, so my memories of the capital are very deep. When I read the newspaper and saw this program, I took the opportunity to come here to explore and take photos. I'm 80 years old, so it's inconvenient to go at night, so I came here in the afternoon," said Mr. Phan Lai Trieu (living in Tan Binh district).

Ms. Xuan Mai (light blue shirt), an officer of the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City, was attracted by the display corners in the exhibition and took many photos.

At around 5pm, many locals and tourists came to the exhibition area to take photos. In the photo, the organizers reconstructed a part of the Thang Long Imperial Citadel, the symbol of the thousand-year-old capital. Many locals knew that the closing ceremony of Hanoi Days in Ho Chi Minh City would take place on August 25, so they came here early to take souvenir photos.
