According to Dang Huong Giang, director of the Hanoi Tourism Department, this series of activities comes within the month of the “Creative City Event” to promote the night economy in the capital.

Among the officially announced night tours, some are completely new, including the one at the Vietnam Women’s Museum entitled “Legend of Youth- Live a Worthy Life”; “Thang Long – Hanoi Night Cycling Tour”; and the “The Quintessence of Education”

tour at the Temple of Literature.

On this occasion, the Hanoi Tourism Department also launched a photo contest called “Welcome Ha Noi City”, targeting young people and international tourists, who are encouraged to post Hanoi night-themed photos on their personal profiles on social platforms using the contest hashtags. This is one of Hanoi’s initiatives to spread the beautiful and vibrant image of the capital city worldwide.
