Hanoi begins construction on park project along both sides of To Lich River.

On the morning of December 19th, Hanoi officially commenced the construction of the To Lich Riverfront Park project, with a scale of 4,665 billion VND, aiming to contribute to the revitalization of the historical river and create a new cultural symbol for the capital city, blending the past and the present.

This event is part of a series of 234 key projects and works that will be simultaneously launched, inaugurated, and opened for technical traffic nationwide to celebrate the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

The To Lich Riverfront Park project, invested and constructed by Sun Group with a total investment of over 4,665 billion VND, is a key project aimed at contributing to the revitalization of the historical river and creating a new cultural symbol for the capital city, blending the past and the present.

The project's implementation marks a significant turning point, transforming the To Lich River from a river in dire need of "rescue" into an attractive cultural and tourist destination for locals and visitors alike.

The highlight of the project lies in its impressive architectural structures, including artistic pedestrian bridges, boat docks, observation decks, and a historical exhibition hall, all of which will be built along the river.

The project to renovate and rebuild the park stretches over 13 km, passing through many wards such as: Ngoc Ha, Nghia Do, Lang, Giang Vo, Cau Giay, Yen Hoa, Thanh Xuan, Dong Da, Khuong Dinh, Dinh Cong, Thanh Liet, Hoang Liet...

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Mr. Ha Minh Hai, Head of the Hanoi City Party Committee's Organization Department, said that in the new era's development strategy for the capital city, the city clearly defines the requirement for rapid but sustainable development, linking economic growth with environmental protection, improving the quality of life for citizens, and building a civilized, modern, and livable city.

According to Mr. Ha Minh Hai, the To Lich River holds a special place in the history of Thang Long - Hanoi's formation and development. However, over the years, due to the impact of rapid urbanization, the river has faced numerous environmental, landscape, and ecological problems.

"The renovation, beautification, and reconstruction of the riverside areas, combined with comprehensive solutions for the water environment, is therefore not just an infrastructure investment project, but also an important socio-political task, demonstrating the city's responsibility to its people and future generations," said Mr. Ha Minh Hai.
