A city’s heartbeat lies in its ability to evolve and embrace change. Hanoi pauses the operation of four-wheeled electric cars carrying tourists from Hoan Kiem to the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, marking a pivotal moment in its journey towards a greener and more innovative future.
The electric bus route operating between Hoan Kiem Lake and the Thang Long Imperial Citadel has been a topic of discussion for the Department of Construction.
