In early August, when traveling along Nguyen Hue Street (Lao Cai Ward), people and tourists could easily see the significant change in the appearance of the central station square.
Through observation, after many months of being closed to serve the construction process, the corrugated iron sheets have been dismantled, revealing a spacious space in the center of Lao Cai railway station.
In particular, the highlight of this area after being invested in and renovated is a fountain combined with modern lighting effects.
In the midst of a significantly expanded space, this place is both a place for children to play and can also become a place for people to exercise in the early morning or late afternoon.
Mr. Hoang Van Su (residing in Lao Cai ward, Lao Cai province) shared: "The construction of this station square is also very fast, not taking much time because the items are quite simple. After being renovated, the space here has become much more airy. Now, people can walk around to avoid the heat of summer in the afternoon because there is a fountain here.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hung (Lao Cai ward) said: "Lao Cai Railway Station Square is a place where many tourists from all over the province gather. Having an open space with the highlight being a colorful fountain will impress visitors about a green - clean - beautiful Lao Cai, especially foreigners when coming here for tourism for the first time.
According to research, the Lao Cai Station Square renovation project (Lao Cai Ward, Lao Cai City) has a total investment of 12 billion VND, taken from land use fees, tax, fee revenue and city budget capital.
The project started in February 2025, and will be completed and put into use in August 2025.
This project will carry out the following items: Construction of the square's central yard, drainage system, lighting, renovation and paving of sidewalks on some roads around the square.
In particular, the highlight of the project is the fountain item.
On August 5, information from the representative of the Lao Cai - Coc San Construction Investment Project Management Board said that after a period of construction, the project has been completed and put into use for about a week now.
