Bui Vien walking street no longer has pedestrian pathThe walking street of Bui Vien (Pham Ngu Lao Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) has been put into operation since August 2017, and become a popular entertainment destination for foreigners and young people at weekends. Many furniture stores occupy the pavement in Bui Vien street and there is no space for visitorsChaotic and untidy tradingEarlier, Bui Vien street was often crowded during weekend evenings. Previously, Bui Vien Street and other roads around the area had been spontaneously developed into "Westerners’ Street" with numerous travelers. The decision to turn Bui Vien Street into pedestrian street is very appropriate to develop the city's tourism sector, opening an entertainment area for tourists. Unfortunately, after 8 months of operation, Bui Vien walking street has not yet come into order with no pedestrian path and the street vendors are rampant.
