The event is aimed at promoting sustainable tourism in the capital city, raising community awareness of the environmental issues, promoting the World Carfree Day and connecting people within a friendly environment. Conducted in the form of a green walking tour with all activities scheduled for the morning, participants are required to get to the starting point by environmentally friendly means of transport, walking, cycling or taking public bus. We believe familiar things would turn out to be fresh and amazingly interesting as you walk and we are hopeful of a day we can truly live the city life without cars and motorbikes.

Activities:

  • Walking around Hanoi in organized groups and calling for participation from others;
