An architectural expert has offered a suggestion to transform the area surrounding Ho Con Rua (Turtle Lake) in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 3 into an art street.
Nguyen Ngoc Uyen, a lecturer from the Ho Chi Minh City Open University’s Faculty of Construction, made the proposal at a workshop collecting suggestions for giving the city’s iconic lake and its surroundings a facelift, organized by the People’s Committee of District 3, on Tuesday morning.
Uyen’s idea focuses on preserving the main architecture of Ho Con Rua while promoting local trade and tourism.
