Phố Bích Họa Phùng Hưng, Mural gallery under railway viaduct in Hoan Kiem District, Vietnam.
Phố Bích Họa Phùng Hưng is a mural gallery located beneath a railway viaduct in the Hoan Kiem District, where nineteen painted arches form an open-air exhibition space. The artworks cover the underside of the viaduct, creating a continuous corridor of paintings along a pedestrian street that links to nearby markets.
The project was established in 2018 to celebrate 25 years of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and South Korea, bringing together artists from both nations. This bilateral collaboration resulted in a shared artwork that reflects the artistic partnership between the two countries.
The murals show scenes of everyday Hanoi life, including flower vendors, old trams, and seasonal celebrations that hold meaning for local people. They tell stories about local traditions and how the city once looked and lived.
The passage is freely accessible at any time, easily reached from both ends since it connects directly to Dong Xuan and Hang Ma street. Information plaques beside each work help visitors understand the paintings, and there is plenty of room to walk and take photographs.
The artworks employ specialized three-dimensional painting techniques and durable PU acrylic materials specifically formulated to withstand years of outdoor exposure. This technical care has allowed the paintings to maintain their colors and details despite rain, sun, and high humidity.
