This project is expected to be a new breath of life, arousing the economic, cultural and tourism values ​​​​of the vast land that has been forgotten for many years.

Create green space

Coastal alluvial land Hong river is calculated from the section from Hong Ha bridge to Me So bridge running through 13 districts of Hanoi with an area of ​​​​about 5,000 hectares. This is a huge land fund for Hanoi but has not been exploited for many years.

Along the two banks of the Red River passing through Hanoi are the banks of reed grass and vegetable areas. In sections near residential areas, the alluvial soil of the Red River is quite polluted. In many alluvial lands of the Red River in the districts of Tay Ho, Ba Dinh, Hoan Kiem and Long Bien, Gia Lam appeared piles of construction materials and garbage formed from theft over the years.

But there are also many people in Group 1 who expressed their thoughts that they will have to move to another place if the government takes the land for construction.

“The common spirit is that we people fully support the city’s policy on planning the Red River beach, so that this area will put on a “new shirt” and not be sloppy anymore. However, we hope to have some information soon. specifically on land use planning to be more proactive in building and finding livelihoods”, shared Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyet.

Along with Ba Dinh, the alluvial area along the Red River in Hoan Kiem district (Hanoi) in the two wards Chuong Duong and Phuc Tan has an area of ​​about 23 hectares. According to Mr. Pham Tuan Long, Chairman of Hoan Kiem District People’s Committee, the locality is developing a plan to effectively exploit the land fund and potential advantages and natural beauty of the Red River.
