City residents are wondering what day and what time the walking street will be held so they can arrange work and sightseeing.

Ms. Ngoc Thao in Vinh Tan ward said, “We heard that Vinh city is organizing a walking street, we are very excited, certainly our family will often take us for a walk. We are concerned about which day the city will organize it and when it will be organized.”
