On July 17, the People’s Committee in Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem district opened a pilot tram project to serve tourists visiting the capital city’s Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake.

In the first phase of the project, the Dong Xuan Joint Stock Company, a project investor purchased 12 trams with the capacity of 8 passengers each to meet tourist requirements for sightseeing and reduce traffic in the capital city which will also protect the environment. 

The trams will start from a station in Dinh Tien Hoang street to take tourists to historical sites, the Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake. 

Tickets are priced at VND15,000 per person. 

The project is part of activities to mark the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.
