Nguyen Manh Quyen, Vice Chairman of Hanoi’s People's Committee, praises individuals and organisations that contributed significantly to the improvement of the food street. |
The project aims to boost the attractiveness of the food street, promoting tourism and socio-economic development in Hoan Kiem District.
Tang Duy Tan Food Street was inaugurated in 2000, coinciding with the 990th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi. Since then, it has gradually become an attractive tourist destination in the capital, drawing both domestic and international visitors.
The project has focused on upgrading the infrastructure by paving the entire street with stone, installing modern lighting systems, adding more greenery, and placing flower pots and green areas to create a spacious, harmonious urban landscape.
In addition, Hoan Kiem District has also promoted the culture of behaviour and civilized business practices, reminding and encouraging business owners to provide polite and professional service. This includes ensuring food safety and hygiene standards.
The transformation of Tong Duy Tan Food Street is not only practical but also artistic. With 100% of households here now engaged in food-related businesses, the street has become a vibrant culinary hub.
Aesthetic improvements include the installation of 300 lanterns inspired by folk art paintings, creating a charming ambiance.
Additionally, a new gate has been erected, designed with elements drawn from the iconic "house-on-the-street" imagery of Hanoi's early 19th-century architecture, as seen in the works of the famous painter Bui Xuan Phai. This blend of tradition and innovation enhances both the visual appeal and cultural significance of the street.
The installation of the bronze statue "The man carrying Pho", lifelike in size, is a unique highlight of the Tong Duy Tan Food Street. This statue not only adds to the area's aesthetic appeal but also serves as a tribute to the culinary heritage of Hanoi, particularly ‘pho’ (noodle soup), which has become an iconic dish representing the city's culture.
In the future, Tong Duy Tan Food Street is expected to become a vibrant venue for hosting traditional cultural events, culinary festivals, international cultural exchanges, and other activities.
Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy pho made and served by robots at the Hanoi Culinary Culture Festival, which is scheduled to take place from November 29 to December 1 at Thong Nhat Park.
