Hanoi mural street gets makeover

The Old Quarter management on Tuesday handed over the street to the Hang Ma Ward administration.

"If any mural becomes downgraded, we will renovate it," Dao Quang Nam, deputy chairman of Hang Ma, said.

An arch near an intersection with Le Van Linh Street is cleared up.

The mural street, done by Vietnamese and South Korean artists, opened to the public in 2018. The 200-m street has 17 murals depicting Hanoi's culture and daily life.

A box with pictures has been replaced after it rusted.

A motorbike has been repainted in gold and moved 50 m from its original location.

Several murals were damaged over time, and artists were brought in to fix them in mid-December.
