The Manor Crown Hue urban area becomes an urban highlight
Along the two banks of the Perfume River, it gets crowded once the sun sets. Young people gather in groups to play sports, skateboarding, rollerblading, etc. Meanwhile, adults go jogging and cycle along the walking route. The Ben Me area, which used to be gloomy, has been invested to have green, clean, and beautiful spot.
The water music area in Ly Tu Trong Park, which is many people's favorite check-in place to take photos, is one of the highlights of the Ly Tu Trong Park embellishment project on Le Loi street - the central urban route with a total investment of more than 16.3 billion VND from the national budget.
"Hue is more and more beautiful, lively, and happy. Every night, I often immerse myself in nature with the walking paths along the Perfume River, release my soul into the space with green trees and lawns being meticulously cared, etc. I find myself loving life more. And for me, Hue is more and more worth living", said Mr. Le Ngoc Anh, an old man, while walking around the walking route along the south bank of the Perfume River.
