Bai Chay area is considered the tourist capital of Ha Long City, Quang Ninh because most of the tourists coming to the coastal city are concentrated here.

The holidays of April 30 and May 1 are a springboard to revive the tourism industry that has been dormant since last year when Quang Ninh welcomed more than 280,000 visitors. However, the Covid-19 pandemic broke out again throughout the country, causing Quang Ninh tourism to slow down, and the chorus of lack of customers continued.
