This much-coveted area has developed into a trendy suburb with endless offerings and a delicious marriage of modern cafes, boutiques, weekend markets, local food stalls by the streets, upscale bistros and trendy bars.

Hoa Binh Park was completed on October 8, 2010, on the occasion of marking the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long (Thăng Long). It is renowned for the unique symbolic architecture which can be found around the park, starting with the Lac bird at the northern gate, flying pigeons and the 30 metre statute of Peace.
