Only about 100 meters long, this alley has been given a "makeover" with a lavishly decorated space, imbued with a festive atmosphere.

Most young people learned about this place through social media. Dang Huyen Tran, 22, commented that the actual scene was about 70% as good as she imagined and wished there were more pine trees to create more photo opportunities and reduce waiting time. Conversely, Dinh Thi Hong Gam found the actual space more beautiful than the pictures she had seen beforehand.
