When I was young, I’d often pass by the portion of the Tô Lịch River on Thụy Khuê Street while riding my bike to school. The rancid smell from the blackened water always made me wonder: Why did people call it a river? Clearly it was a sewer. But the stories told during Hải’s tour taught me that the river’s life was a legend.
To Lich River area would become a historic, cultural and spiritual park with a network of anti-flooding tunnels and underground highways along the river under a special project.
