How is Ha Long tourist city before the “wave” of COVID-19 broke out?

The images are eerily quiet in what is considered the most vibrant tourist center of Ha Long City (Quang Ninh) during the days of the COVID-19 outbreak in many localities across the country.
With the quiet images without a shadow at the tourist center Bai Chay, in Ha Long City (Quang Ninh) is the clearest proof of the terrible devastation of the COVID-19 epidemic. Shops are closed, people do not go out, tourists do not come, services are completely frozen.

Summer, the bustling season, the harvest season of the tourism industry in Quang Ninh. But this year, summer has become the summer no one wants. In the photo is the busiest tourist area in Ha Long without a single person. The roads are long and attractive. People still clean the streets as if waiting for a miracle to repel COVID, so that tourists can return to Quang Ninh. Far from the image of tourists crammed together under the early summer sun, rows of seats are stacked to avoid dust. For many months now, this neighborhood has remained motionless. The restaurant is dilapidated, the items are also badly damaged. On this day years ago, the beach was always packed with people bathing. Now there are only empty seats left. COVID-19 has almost mercilessly devastated what it goes through. Coconut shadow casts a shadow on the beach, guests do not come, the sky is deep blue. “In this situation, I’m sure I’ll find a way to change my career. For more than a week now, no one has rented a boat. Sitting here alone feels like being lost on a deserted island,” said Anh Khang, a lessor. boat at the beach said. A whole neighborhood with locked doors and no people passing by. This is an unprecedented image in Bai Chay, Ha Long. Scattered a few shops still let their family members to look after and clean. Most of the other restaurants have chosen to close until the end of the epidemic. The damage caused by COVID-19 is truly terrifying. Quang Ninh authorities still call on people to try to join hands to fight the epidemic, well implement 5K measures, and comply with regulations on epidemic prevention and control.
