From Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design:
As one of the three outstanding walking tours during Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design 2024 in Hanoi, “Nature re-generation on Hanoi Red River bank” is an exciting experience in the city’s wildest areas to explore the native ecosystem and its restoration following the recent historic flooding caused by Typhoon Yagi.
“Nature re-generation on Hanoi Red River bank” is organised by the social enterprise Think Playgrounds, which initiated and carried out the Phuc Tan Riverbank Forest Park. The walk will lead participants through five main areas of the project: the entrance, the bird-watching point, the forest, the waterfront area, and the vegetable garden.
Through this experience, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the biodiversity and natural life along the banks of the Red River, which have been neglected and abandoned for years. This opens up a new perspective and new hope for the regeneration of the native ecosystem in this area.
