To celebrate the 1000th year anniversary of the city of Hanoi, citizens and organizations got together to make a 4 km long ceramic mosiac mural along the dyke system between Tay Ho and Hoan Kiem. In addition to being the world's longest ceramic tile mosaic, this is the largest piece of community art in Vietnam and one of the few pieces of public art we've seen in Hanoi.
Some parts of the wall were done by individual artists while other sections were sponsored by corporations, groups, and foreign embassies. The tiles come from a suburb of Hanoi called Bat Trang, known as "pottery village" (the kids went there on a field trip). But the sheer size of the thing is pretty impressive -- the mosaic goes on for awhile:
