The event "Hanoi Days in Ho Chi Minh City," held from August 23 to 25 on Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Street in District 1, attracted a large number of participants. The program recreated many iconic architectural works of Hanoi, such as Long Bien Bridge, Khue Van Pavilion, But Tower, One Pillar Pagoda, Dong Xuan Market, through intricately designed models made from materials like iron, steel, wood, and foam. About 500 meters of the street were decorated with miniatures, traditional stalls, craft villages, and pictures of the capital, creating a culturally rich Hanoi atmosphere in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City.
 

One of the highlights of the event was a model of Long Bien Bridge, approximately 30 meters long and 5 meters high, constructed with iron and steel, authentically replicating the historic bridge of the capital. This model was displayed in the central area of the pedestrian street, alongside exhibitions of images of Hanoi past and present. Other models, such as Khue Van Pavilion, The Huc Bridge, But Tower, and O Quan Chuong, were also recreated with dimensions and details closely resembling the originals, attracting many visitors to explore and take photos.
 

In addition to the architectural works, the event also recreated traditional craft villages such as weaving, bronze casting, hat making, lacquer painting, Bat Trang pottery, along with a Hanoi culinary area set up at the old Tax Trade Center site. The program featured tourism promotion activities, martial arts performances, artistic gymnastics, and culinary experiences, offering Ho Chi Minh City residents a rich and vibrant cultural experience of the capital.
