This small town has become the capital of Quang Ninh each year, bringing the physique and appearance of a developed city. However, those who have lived in this city since childhood, surely cannot forget the places that are supposed to be typical, are nostalgic. A friend said happily to me that, in Ha Long, few people know the name of the street, where they want to go, they have to ask what specific area, for example: Kenh Liem bridge, clock pole, Bach Dang theater, Bai Chay beach, old ferry, Column 2, Column 3, Column 5, Column 8 … Some pictures before and after famous places in Ha Long: The first clock column was built in Ha Long. Currently, the clock column is newly built, modern and considered “the heart of the city”. Bach Dang theater in 1958. Bach Dang theater is now spaciously built but rarely used. In the 90s, Bai Chay ferry was the only way for people to travel between Hon Gai and Bai Chay. Up to now, this place is called the old ferry terminal because it is no longer in use, replaced by Bai Chay bridge. The old Hong Gai specialized high school. Now renamed as Hon Gai High School, built spaciously. Simple Bai Chay beach before 2000s. Bai Chay beach now becomes a cool place for summer days and an attractive tourist destination in Ha Long. Kenh Liem Bridge used to be a wetland. Now that the traffic has developed, Kenh Liem bridge has become a national highway roundabout. Hon Gai on the bank of Ha Long Bay the day before. On the banks of Ha Long Bay today. Ancient Ha Long with many nostalgia and the livelihood of fishermen. Modern buildings adorn the heritage bay city. Pham Cong Old photo: Museum of Quang Ninh province
