The Hai Ba Trung pedestrian street is packed with thousands of people on its opening day, March 26, 2023.

Cultural exchanges, art and street music performances, and other events will be organised on the street, which operates from 6 p.m. to midnight every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

This is the third such plaza in Hue after a second pedestrian zone was set up around the iconic Imperial Citadel.

On the occasion, the city also kicked off a series of activities to welcome the "Hue Summer Festival 2023" and the Hue Festival 2023.

Hue was the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 until the end of feudalism in Vietnam in 1945.
