The Scenic Riverside Experience: New Walking and Cycling Trails Unveiled in Da Nang

The recent renovation project has transformed the area into an appealing and practical part of the city of Da Nang.

Nguyen Minh Huy, director of the Da Nang Traffic and Agricultural Infrastructure Investment Project Management Board, confirmed to Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Sunday that the works to rejuvenate the landscape along Thang Long Street, from Asia Park to the border with Cam Le District, are now complete.

This comprehensive project incorporated architectural and landscaping elements, including green spaces, public restrooms, fitness equipment, walkways, dedicated cycling lanes, and railings. These features were carefully designed to improve leisure and physical activity options for locals and tourists alike.

One of the project’s standout features was the selection of silver trumpet trees, chosen for their unique appearance and ability to provide ample shade. These trees add a distinct charm to the riverside area.

The existing tree line along Thang Long Street has been carefully preserved, and any trees that were not suitable for the new design have been relocated with care.

Two modern public restrooms have been installed along the sidewalk. These facilities boast automatic sensor doors, high-quality interior fittings, antimicrobial features, and eco-friendly designs, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic experience for all users.

Furthermore, a new lighting system has been installed, illuminating the walkways and enhancing the area’s aesthetic appeal, particularly along the cycling lanes.

The riverside sidewalk improvement project cost VND44.2 billion (approximately US$1.7 million) and is now ready to welcome both locals and visitors to enjoy.
