On July 7, information from the Lang Son Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said that the province has agreed on a pilot plan for the Hung Vuong Street Cultural Space, Luong Van Tri ward in the form of a night pedestrian street.

Sub-areas include the central stage; street art area; OCOP booth area, cuisine, souvenirs; folk experience area and check-in area, tourism promotion.
Hung Vuong street cultural space aims to create a healthy community cultural living environment, meeting the needs of enjoying the spiritual life of the people, and at the same time promoting the cultural identity of Lang Son ethnic groups to tourists.
According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Lang Son province, this model is expected to contribute to stimulating tourism demand, developing the night economy and creating more urban highlights for the central area.
In the pilot phase, the organizing committee will comprehensively monitor and evaluate the operational efficiency of the model, from organization, ensuring security and order, environmental sanitation to attracting people and tourists. The pilot results will be the basis for research, adjustment and consideration of expansion in the coming time.
