Many domestic and foreign tourists when coming to Hoi An have the same opinion that Hoi An has a very unique public space, which is the pedestrian street. This is a sightseeing and shopping place where tourists do not have to worry about traffic accidents. The street is sometimes also the place where social activities, cultural and tourist events take place...

Through many years of implementation, from "Street without engine noise", "Street for slow vehicles", to "Walking Street", this type of public transport is not only a typical image of a friendly tourist city but also contributes to improving the quality of life of city residents.

In addition, some public places with a scale of tens of billions of VND such as Hoi An Park and Cam Thanh Memorial have been invested in the first phase and are continuing to be completed and upgraded to serve the needs of relaxation, entertainment of the people and tourists.

The city has also decided to dedicate many "golden land" areas to turn into parks and public areas such as: Vietown area at 127, Phan Chau Trinh street, nearly 7,000 square ^meters wide; Hoi An Street Children's Protection Center land on August 18 street; Tinh Thuong coffee shop land at the intersection of Tran Hung Dao - Le Loi - Nguyen Truong To, about 2,000 ^square meters...

Previously, the land in front of Vien Giac Pagoda and the land lot at No. 1, Bach Dang Street were also constructed as a small flower garden. The city has also planned many large parks such as the 88-hectare multi-functional park in Thanh Ha area; the 36-hectare park between Phuoc Trach Bridge and De Vong Bridge; or planned a series of parks in Dong Na - Ben Tre area, along Co Co River according to the province's planning...
