1. Describe a place full of colors
- Where is it?
- What are there?
- What to do?
- Your feelings
When thinking about a place full of colors, I can’t help but to visualize the vivid paintings of the Phung Hung Mural Land which, as much as I know, a joint project by the Hoan Kiem District People’s Committee, the Korea Foundation and the United Nations in Vietnam. I had a chance to visit it last year in my summer vacation. Although I have just visited once, I was amazed by the colorful decorations there. The project aims to recreate photos of Hanoi people living in the past in the post-colonial era. And I do think the murals have lived up to people’s expectations. I mean, when you take a look at this nostalgic paintings of the bygone era placed on these archwalls, against such a modern setting, it creates such a wonderful juxtaposition. I think this corner is not only a perfect place for the youth to take a photo but also a wonderful reminder for the elderly of their prime time, people who actually lived in this era. It’s a great moment for them to relive their youth, of the time living in these old house.I think it’s a wonderful place for people from all ages. And you know what, I think the vividness of this whole area isn’t just reflected by the mural paintings but also by the hanging lanterns and the botanical plants alongside the street. And the last but certainly not the least interesting touch of this area is the handicrafts fair. There is just a great sense of community from seeing people around selling and buying the local products. I think it’s a wonderful time for local brands to gain exposure from both foreign and domestic tourists. This area is not just an aesthetic zone for entertainment but it also serves representative function.
