The event aimed to promote the image of safe, friendly, and attractive destinations in Hanoi to attract more tourists.

The cultural event will cover a series of more than 50 events, including the Hanoi Tourism Festival 2024, the Hanoi Tourism Gift Festival 2024, the Hanoi Autumn Festival, the Food and Craft Village Tourism Festival, and the Hanoi Ao Dai Festival 2024.

According to the organizers, "Get on Hanoi 2024" will feature a semi-realistic art program based on Hanoi's history and a light show using laser mapping technology.

Participants in the event will have the opportunity to experience Hanoi specialties at culinary venues, admire and purchase handicrafts from Hanoi's traditional artisanal villages, and participate in traditional folk games.

In addition, a photo exhibition featuring award-winning photos from the "Welcome Hanoi City" photo contest would give viewers a glimpse of the lovely, beautiful, and charming capital of Vietnam.

On the same occasion, the Hanoi Municipal People's Committee and the Hanoi Department of Tourism will hand over a decision to recognize Nhat Tan Tourist Area, Tay Ho District, as an urban-level tourist destination.
