Having been launched since 2017, Tien Yen pedestrian streets provide visitors with an exceptional sense of being immersed in the indigenous culture of ethnic people in the northeastern area of Quang Ninh province.

Tien Yen pedestrian street is often full of visitors at weekend.

Historically, the town of Tien Yen was established in the beginning of the 20th century. There remains about 40 ancient houses and facilities showcasing the mixture of Chinese and French architecture. 

As a move to preserve and uphold cultural values, the first walking street opened in Tien Yen in August, 2017 and has currently become an appealing attraction and excellent cultural products of the ethnic minority people in the locality.

Operating on every weekend and during holidays, the walking street includes 3 main areas including a folk culture region, a merchandizing space and a range of traditional cuisine stalls at Ly Thuong Kiet road and Hoa Binh road.
