Entry to all sites at Ha Long Bay in the northern province of
Quang Ninh will be free of charge during the lunar New Year (Tet)
holiday, from Jan. 23 to Feb. 5, the provincial People’s Committee said
on Jan. 20.
The decision represented the
gratitude of the province to visitors across the country and
international friends, who supported and voted for Ha Long Bay to
become one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.
According to Phung Duc Tin from Ha Long Bay Management Board, the board
has worked out plans to ensure good services and public order in tourism
sites as well as protect the environment during this year’s Tet
holiday.
Tin said Ha Long Bay usually receives
about 7,000-10,000 tourists during the Tet festival but it expects to
lure more holiday-makers this year, as there will be three local
festivals in the period, which is the Cua Ong temple festival, the Yen
Tu festival and the National Poetry Day./.
