"This will be a landmark project not only for the capital but for the whole country, a place that will attract domestic and international tourists," Secretary Vuong Dinh Hue shared.
It is known that since mid-2018, the Vietnam Surveying, Mapping and Geographic Information Agency (Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment) has affirmed the necessity of building a "zero kilometer marker" for Hanoi. The agency stated that many countries have also built zero kilometer markers at famous locations, bringing positive effects in promoting the image of the country and developing tourism.
In agreement with the proposal to place the "zero milestone" at the intersection of Hang Khay and Dinh Tien Hoang streets, the Department suggested that, in terms of design, the milestone should be erected standing rather than lying down.
"Milestone Zero" is expected to be a major tourist attraction for both domestic and international visitors.
In order to enhance the effectiveness of the pedestrian zone around Ho Guom Lake and its vicinity, Mr. Vuong Dinh Hue also requested research on several other projects, such as: renovating and beautifying landmark buildings around the lake; renovating the area around the King Le Temple, linking it with the Nhan Dan Newspaper editorial office and the surrounding landscape.
In addition, the Hanoi Party Secretary requested the early agreement on the planning and architecture of the C9 underground station and the surrounding space and landscape; the implementation of the cultural, service, commercial, and tourism space project in the area of 131 stone arch bridges on the southern approach road to Long Bien Bridge; and the project to preserve Long Bien Bridge with the aim of transforming it into a pedestrian bridge.
