Rows of brightly coloured butterflies, flowers, animals and playing children now welcome passers-by through the streets of the village of Dan Phuong on the outskirts of Hanoi in what used to be a typical urban ghetto.
 |
| It’s hard to imagine that this neighbourhood’s history is deeply rooted in poverty and trash strewn everywhere |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Many youths spend nearly a month painting the street art |
 |
| The cost of the artwork is about US$880 paid for by the Dan Phuong Steering Committee |
 |
 |
| The green earth is the main theme of the street art |
 |
 |
| A Dan Phuong Steering Committee member says that now the streets are always bright and clean as people no longer throw their garbage on the ground like they used to |
