HCMC – District 1 of HCMC has written to the city government suggesting opening food and beverage booths along the sidewalks of Nguyen Hue pedestrian street, beginning December 15.
This proposal is intended to meet the demand of local residents and tourists during the upcoming New Year holiday.
Currently, there are about 30 hotels, restaurants and food establishments along a section of Nguyen Hue Boulevard, stretching between the intersections of Le Loi Boulevard and Ton Duc Thang Street in downtown HCMC.
This proposal is part of a plan to develop the night-time economy in District 1, with the local government aiming to transform the pedestrian street into a vibrant place for cultural, festive, and sporting activities. The project will divide Nguyen Hue Street into different zones, each catering to the specific requirements of various artistic performances and events.
District 1 has also outlined an operational plan with specific purposes for the six roads adjacent to Nguyen Hue Boulevard, ensuring convenience for visitors. Notably, some motorcycle parking spaces may be made available on sections of Mac Thi Buoi, Ngo Duc Ke, and Hai Trieu streets, starting January 1, 2024.
