A new “tourist” destination between the capital has potential risks of unsafety and environmental pollution Witnessing these images, Mr. Cong, an “aboriginal” of Long Bien ward, was upset, shaking his head: “Only when an incident occurred, the other guests knew they were joking with death. Subsidence of sand or indentation of swirling waters is the risk of happening at any time ”. The people’s need for entertainment, entertainment and relaxation during the holidays is very legitimate. In terms of space, the area in the middle of the Red River seems to meet that need; because it is near the center, because there is a cool Red River; There is a large land, open to thousands of square meters, spoiled for playing without “touching” anyone. That’s why the phenomenon happened a long time ago, when there are several hundred and thousands of people every day, vehicles, even motorbikes, cars, just follow the border gates in Long Bien, Bo De, Thach Ban. …to enter. Gathering activities take place from morning to night, even through the night. Then, after each fun, the environmental “disaster” stayed in the middle beach. Not many groups and families consciously clean up garbage before leaving. People put in place. People do not mind… throw garbage into the river. “There used to be local people who had to worry about the polluted landscape in the middle yard and moved out. But that was only the first time, when there were few visitors elsewhere. Now I have … “, Mr. Cong sadly. Bringing the question of the “mixed” pollution above to the Long Bien Ward Committee, we only received a shake of our head. Because, there are no regulations or sanctions to prevent people from going to the beach to gather and play. Having “cornered” all the contingent of ward cadres, grassroots cadres to remind and propagate, just like… salt left the sea. The beach in the middle of the Red River needs to be “saved”, and “saved” as soon as possible! But to whom is that responsibility of the rescue? Once again, the question should be sent to the People’s Committee of Long Bien District, especially when the holidays are approaching April 30, May 1.

The Red River flowing through Hanoi has a pure, wild, natural beauty that has not been broken by the coastal living space. Up to now, the Red River still retains a peaceful look for visitors to have a quiet time watching the sky, clouds and water waves. Along the Red River, there are many historical and cultural relics for tourists to stop to visit such as Dinh Chem in Dong Ngac ward, Bac Tu Liem district, Ghenh temple (Long Bien district) located along the river to worship Princess Le Ngoc. Han is also a relic that attracts many visitors. A little further, Dam Temple (Ninh So commune, Thuong Tin district) is a long standing relic worshiping Mau Comfortable – one of the three holy temples of Vietnamese folk beliefs. Also on the river stretching through Hanoi, guests can also admire Long Bien Bridge with a history of more than 100 years, Thang Long Bridge – a symbol of Vietnam – Soviet friendship, Nhat Tan bridge symbolizing the reach of Hanoi City. in the period of international economic integration. Visitors join the Red River tour organized by Thang Long Joint Stock Company GTC. Located adjacent to the Red River, Bat Trang traditional pottery village where traditional crafts are kept is a tourist attraction that attracts tourists from near and far. Arriving in Bat Trang by river, visitors will have a new experience, when they are allowed to access the old water wharf, wriggle through the narrow alleys of the pottery village before coming to the bustling market, buying pottery while being able to try Being a potter is an enjoyable experience traveling to the Red River. Representative of Sen Forest Tourist Company Hoang Thi Kim Van said: “Traveling to the Red River, the most interesting thing is to see the scenery, visit the communal house, the pagoda along the two banks. I discovered a lot of interesting things. , get a new experience, different from when choosing a road tour “.
Director of Thang Long Joint Stock Company Ta Minh Hung (DN organizes to exploit Red River tours) said: In order to serve the Red River tourism, the company opened 4 tours such as: “Journey of love songs” with schedule of Bo De pagoda – Chuong Duong bridge – Long Bien bridge – Nhat Tan bridge – Thang Long bridge – Che communal house; “Night of the Red River”, the schedule of Bo De pagoda – Chuong Duong bridge – Long Bien bridge – Nhat Tan bridge … Not only that, in recent years, the company has also expanded the Red River tour to some neighboring provinces. Capital. Specifically, the enterprise has cooperated with Bac Ninh and Hung Yen provinces to expand the Red River tour to tourist destinations such as Chu Dong Tu Temple (Hung Yen), Phat Tich Pagoda, Dau Pagoda (Bac Ninh).
Many problems and shortcomings
Despite the potential, but in fact, the operation of the Red River tour stops at a small scale and has not been properly invested. On average, each year, this tourist route only attracts about 300,000 tourists, of which international visitors account for about 30%.
Travel businesses said that this tourist route mainly serves tourists, combining ecotourism with spiritual tourism, almost no retail tourists. Meanwhile, along the Red River, there are many relics that have not been invested and exploited to create unique tourism products, so it is difficult to attract second-time tourists. Not only that, the technical infrastructure is poor, both lacking and weak, currently only Da Hoa temple wharf and Bat Trang tourist port are properly invested, making it convenient to get on and off the ship. The rest of the other destinations are still left open, making it difficult for tourists to travel, especially in the rainy season. In fact, in many attractions, tourists buying a tour of the Red River must have nerves of steel when using a fragile bridge connecting the transport ship with the river bank.
Director of Phuong Hoang Tourism Company Dang Bich Tho said frankly: Currently the Red River tour is only suitable for domestic tourists, if you want to attract international tourists, many factors must be changed. Specifically for foreign visitors, the tour requires an emphasis on a certain theme; services and products for international customers must also change towards a more professional and attractive direction. For example, for international tourists, it is not advisable to let them sit on the train for several hours enjoying the scenery for themselves. What attracts them is the traditional craft villages on both sides of the river, and cultural and historical features related to the tour destinations must be carefully introduced. Agreeing with this opinion, the representative of OpenTour Tourism Company said: In order to diversify the amount of tours to serve tourists, the company has invited guests to use the Red River tour. However, in the past few years, visitors to this tour are very few and almost no foreigners. The reason is that the two sides of the river are full of dirt, causing loss of aesthetics, environmental pollution, making tourists, especially foreigners, turn their backs.
Sharing difficulties in the process of building and operating the Red River tour, Mr. Ta Minh Hung said: Although Thang Long GTC has provided Red River tour services for 20 years, it has not been able to create real products. the specialties and characteristics of Hanoi tourism. The reason is that the infrastructure on both sides of the Red River has not met the requirements of tourists for landscape and sanitation. Currently, Hanoi does not have a pier to serve tourists, visitors have to board from the temporary wharf at Chuong Duong Do wharf. In the dry season, the water level is low, the boat cannot dock, visitors have to board the boat from Bo De Pagoda. Another problem posed is that for a long time, the city has not invested in the construction of both sides of the river. Many river sections, even the ones that run through the inner city, have dusty landscapes, and temporary houses. Some river sections are places where rubbish, construction waste, sand mining … are gathered, creating bad impressions on visitors.
Not only that, but tourism in the Red River is greatly influenced by weather and seasonality. In the dry season, the water is dry, the boat is very difficult to dock, the company organizing tours of the Red River has to stop the boat on the riverbed, using a boat “boating” to bring guests ashore. In addition, the company wants to open a night tour, but it is not possible, because the management of vehicles on the Red River is not really good, the sand barge runs at night without high speed. necessary warning, affecting the safety of visitors. “The biggest difficulty of the operators of Red River tourism is the lack of ships and boats meeting international standards and so far there are no wharves” – Mr. Hung lamented.
Need multidisciplinary support
According to experts, in order for Red River tourism products to have a strong attraction to tourists, the General Department of Tourism, the Hanoi Department of Tourism and Hanoi City need to invest more in tourism infrastructure and embellishment. Riverside landscape.
Talking about the need for multidisciplinary support in the renovation, embellishment and upgrading of infrastructure thereby helping tourism businesses to develop tours of the Red River, Hanoi Travel Association President Phung Quang Thang commented: To develop Red River tourism is not simply a tourist company, but it needs a consistent policy of the local city, district and commune to do it. The first is to clean up the riverbank area where ships pass by for a beautiful landscape that attracts tourists. Previously, along the Red River were undulating and poetic tiled houses behind village bamboo, now there are only tube houses, lack of attraction, while the river bank is not beautiful. This needs to be corrected. Second, it is advisable to invest in a boat that is both safe and quiet so that visitors can both enjoy the scenery and relax. “The difficult thing is that the anchorage is temporary and has not been properly invested. Investors spend money, but without the participation of the city or locality so that the tour becomes more and more attractive, it cannot attract tourists ”- Mr. Thang expressed.
Agreeing with this suggestion, Chairman of the Tourism Advisory Council Tran Trong Kien stated: To develop river tourism in general, the Red River in particular needs to develop a long-term, impossible, one-way process. can be strong right away. Management agencies need to prepare a lot of conditions for river tourism products such as: Construction and operation of river cruise terminals; traffic planning and investment connecting the pick-up point from the river to the road according to the schedule … In addition, it is necessary to promote activities to promote and promote river tourism products in key markets for easy access to tourists; calling for and creating conditions for domestic and international enterprises to invest in high quality cruise ships, combine yachts with floating restaurants, open representative offices abroad … Representative of Phuong Nam Tourism Company Sun Travel Nguyen Thien Ngo commented: To develop Red River tourism alongside the participation of businesses in the long term, it is necessary to have interdisciplinary cooperation to plan the two sides of the Red River, That way, businesses will determine the investment plan for infrastructure for tours of the Red River.
It can be seen that the Red River tour has a lot of potential to become a typical and attractive tourist product of Hanoi. However, in order for this product to really flourish, perhaps the efforts of the company are not enough, but it needs a strong determination to join the authorities. Chairman of the Tourism Advisory Council Tran Trong Kien: There should be a plan for each region Although Hanoi City has issued the Hanoi Capital Construction Master Plan up to 2030 with a vision to 2050, in which the two sides of the Red River are the central landscape space axis of the capital, there will be parks, great cultural and entertainment works to organize meaningful events. However, this is a future image, in the immediate future, Hanoi should have regional plans for Red River tourism to create certain spots. Specifically relocating the waste disposal sites along the river; opening ecological zones to grow clean fruits and vegetables; traditional art performances … this will be the basis for investment in Red River tourism. Director of Travel Department, Tourism Department Nguyen Quy Phuong: Will be an attractive travel product if removed get entangled In fact, the current model of Red River tourism deployed by Thang Long GTC Joint Stock Company is still having to compensate for losses because there are still many difficulties and obstacles such as investment in vehicles, large, difficult berths, basically itself. Business processing of cruise ships has not been implemented under the market mechanism of active business. However, in the future when the difficulties in infrastructure are removed from the local government, I believe this will definitely be an attractive tourism product featuring Hanoi for tourism businesses. exploit. Director of Hanoitourist Travel Company Phung Quang Thang: Need to build berths, upgrade infrastructure Transshipment In essence, a water tour is to understand what is on the shore. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange for visitors to visit historical sites, culinary and cultural experiences on both sides of the river and canal. To do that, it is necessary to build a ship dock, upgrade transport infrastructure to serve tourists to the sights. In special places, you can use a tram or even simple means such as a horse cart, a buffalo cart to take advantage of the unique cultural features of Vietnam, making an impression on visitors. President of UNESCO Tourism Club Truong Quoc Hung: Should sell specialties, souvenirs Tourism of the Red River is a waterway tourism, so in the long run, the management agency needs to plan specific channels, which canals are for cruise ships, transport ships, and at the same time regulate the date and time of the ship. boats can travel, regulations on tonnage, types of ships, signs as this relates to safety issues for visitors. Besides, enterprises operating Red River tours need to upgrade services on board in the direction of selling products such as specialties, souvenirs … of the Red River Delta regions thereby optimizing profits, value added through services.

Living in a riverside village in Van Giang district (Hung Yen), Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy said, the pretend is a specialty only available in the Red River. Their larvae live in water, only surface once a year to molt and then fly to the surface to lay eggs. Close-up of the child pretending to be outside the Red River. (Photo: Van Thanh). According to Ms. Thuy, when she was a child, many children appeared pretending to be, but suddenly about 20 years they disappeared, causing nostalgia for generations of fishing villages. However, about 3 years ago, pretending to appear many times made the people of the fishing village excited to come out and get together to go out and pretend from 3am. “I pretend to only appear once a year around February to March of the lunar calendar and only live about 2 hours. To get rid of it, most of my family had to stay up all night to see if the next day’s situation would pretend or not. If there is, by about 4 am, the pretense will start to float, and the river will be completely flown by about 6am, ”Ms. Thuy said. The child pretends to be a specialty only available in the Red River, which can be purchased at quite high prices. On the day of pretending to appear, dozens of fishing boats with nets attached to the nose of the boat ran along the river. When it is clear, it is also the end of the fake harvest. Because people were brought up from the riverbank, people gathered and bought them all. At the beginning of the crop, the price was high, about 500,000 VND / kg, every day when it was picked up, it was about 300,000 VND / kg. “On average, my family can salvage about 3-5 kg ​​a day, but there is a record day that my house can salvage nearly 40 kg. Bring it to the market, have not yet sold out all. Because it only appears a few days / month, it is necessary to be able to watch it to avoid the end of the season ”, Ms. Thuy said. Nearly 20 years of “losing track”, about 3 years ago, the pretend started to appear again. As the owner of a famous restaurant in Ngoc Thuy, Long Bien (Hanoi), but Van Thanh still goes out and pretends because this is an insect that has attached to the childhood of riverside children like him. At the same time, he used pretend to cook into dishes to serve guests to eat at his restaurant. In order to catch the pretense, fishermen like Thanh had to prepare from 3am, use a fixed net at the nose of the boat and pick them up because they only appeared from 4-6am and disappeared. According to Thanh, there are not every place where there are pretensions, but only at the confluence of the river where there is a lot of soil for them to nest. “Usually it takes a lot of attention to be able to watch the right day of pretending to molt because only 1-2 times a month. After 2 molting, they lay eggs and then die. Eggs hatch into larvae and return to the river bed waiting for the day to be molested on the surface “, Mr. Thanh said. After being processed, the baby becomes a specialty, with the price up to a million VND / kg. After picking up, Mr. Thanh processed many dishes to serve diners such as pretending to braise fish, pretend soup, pretending to roast honey leaves, and pretending to fry eggs … If he can save a lot, he proceeds to preserve it. separate to be used all year. “From the beginning of the crop up to now I have picked up 2 times, each time about 10-20kg. If selling fresh, it is only about 500,000 VND / kg but processed, each kilo can make 4 plates with the price from 200-300,000 VND / plate. So, each kilo of pretense will cost about 1 million dong ”, Mr. Thanh shared. I pretended to be a phytoplankton, after molting, only lived a few hours on the water. According to the book “Ten thousand questions of why”, I pretend to belong to the set of Ephemeral Wings, a set belonging to a group of Palaeoptera, together with the order of Dragonflies, whose scientific name is Ephemeroptera. They are twofold. After the second time, they only have one pair of wings and then live for only a few hours. The longest lifespan of pretending is not more than a week. The larvae of the child pretend to live in the water, after rolling a few times to become the same. When it becomes a coincidence, its body is soft, light emitting, the two antennae on the head are like a dagger, at the end of the abdomen grows 3 tail feathers. In the evening the children pretend to gather, fly over the water to perform mating. After the sex is finished, pretend the female spawns the eggs in the water. The vast majority of them to the next day “deadlock”.

Located in the land along the Day River, in recent years, Hiep Thuan commune (Phuc Tho, Hanoi) has been known as one of the major mulberry barns in the capital. Taking advantage of the nutrient rich alluvium, the mulberry gardens located here have been and are the crops that bring economic efficiency to the people of Hiep Thuan commune. This time is just the beginning of the crop, but people here are in a hurry in the season. Because at present, the selling price for traders and the retail price is at a high price. Currently, Hiep Thuan commune has planted more than 15 hectares of mulberry orchard from 5 years or more. One pole planted about 40 mulberry roots, each strawberry root harvested about 100kg fruit / crop. Mulberries appear only about 3 from 4 weeks to end the season. The ripe strawberry is red or black when ripe; It tastes soft, sour, sweet and juicy. The young leaves of the plant can be used as boiled vegetables, sautéed and cooked like other vegetables. Under the wrong strawberry branches with fruit to bow low are the farmers picking strawberries quickly and restlessly from 7:00 am to the evening, or when the traders no longer import the goods. The strawberry is small and easy to crush, so the grower has to use hand picking gently by hand. At the beginning of the season, strawberry prices are still high, retail prices are about 20,000 to 25,000 VND / kg, and wholesale prices range from 15,000 to 18,000 VND / kg. A strawberry garden owner said that the family mulberry garden has 40 roots per acre, each harvest about 400 kg of fruit on average, turnover of more than 30 million VND / sao. Currently, every day in Hiep Thuan commune people provide about 8 tons of fruit to other localities, on the occasion of the ripening of the strawberries, it can be up to 14 tons.

Hanoi is a city surrounded by the Red River with great flow and fertile alluvial deposits. With long-standing living characteristics, two riversides are always crowded places. Many big bridges in Hanoi connect the two banks of the Red River such as Nhat Tan, Chuong Duong, Vinh Tuy, Thanh Tri, … Stretching from the residential areas of Hoan Kiem, Ba Dinh, Tay Ho districts to the middle of the river is a blank stretch of land with a green color of trees and crops. Although it has a large area, this place where people are used to calling it “middle ground” is just a place where people cultivate, increase production and make beaches. Mr. Pham Van Thi today visited the garden and harvested water spinach. He has 2 sao of land along the river. Every season, he kept a different kind of vegetable, and he planted it for his family to eat and sell at the same time. Rubbing his hands onto the wet, wet field ground, Mr. Thi shared: “The land along the river should be fertile. Vegetables and grass are up, no need to fertilize much nitrogen. Just sowing, watering, clearing the grass is a vegetable garden for harvest ”. However, the fertile land is so, but the plants here are mainly: bananas, corn, potatoes and Northern vegetables. These are cultivars with little capital and short harvest time. The reason for planting these trees is because this is the land area of ​​the city, people only plant trees in the “temporary” mind, when planning will be returned. The entrance to the beach in the middle of the Red River is covered in a green color with rows of bananas, vegetable gardens mixed with dense vegetation. If you are not familiar with the way down, it is easy to get lost by the blinded view. – Squid! Where are you running? Come back. The voice of Mr. Vu calling his dog so that it does not get lost on the way to the beach. Every afternoon, Mr. Vu and his companion ride a bicycle across the Long Bien Bridge, together to cool off along the Red River. Along the riverbank, there are 3-4 large and small beaches. Each beach also went to dozens of people. From children, young people to the elderly, calls to each other, laughs stirred up both sides of the river. No one remembers when these riverside beaches have existed, but for a long time, swimming here is a very familiar living image. Located close to the edge of the Red River, Phuc Xa (Ba Dinh) inn with old cement-tiled roofs has been around for more than 20 years. The inns are long, connected with dozens of rooms. This is known as the lodging area for people from other provinces who come to Hanoi to earn a living with low income. Most of them are workers working in Long Bien night market such as selling, loading, towing … Ms. Pham Thi Ngat is a State official, mobilized to Hanoi in 1992. She owns 30 rooms of about 500 square meters in Phuc Xa ward. In the past, this was a part of arable land along the river, to grow vegetables. Later she poured land, built a room and rented it at a cheap price. The small rooms are the accommodation of 2-3 workers, the area of ​​which just fits a bed, wardrobe, cooking shelf is about 10 m2. People in the neighborhood go to work from 22:00 the day before until 6-7 o’clock the next day. They spend most of their daytime time resting, eating and drinking in their rooms. Until more than 15 o’clock, the inn is still quiet. Only Ms. Khuong and a few people woke up, and she pulled some stained plastic chairs from the house to sit and enjoy the wind. – Wake up, get up here to sit cool, Mrs. Hai, Fresh! The voice of Miss Area was loud enough for Miss Tuoi’s room at the far end of the inn to hear. The story is the same every day, just revolves around the shopping, selling … but always juicy. While talking to each other to eat fruit and hot weather, we buy ice cream and yogurt. Heaven in Hanoi on hot days is considered “harsh” extremely for the neighbors. Sitting in the inn at dusk, Mr. Pham Van Binh dined with sweat drops on his forehead. “In the day it is hot and can’t sleep, and at night there is no strength to go to work,” he lamented. Ms. Tuoi has been working in Hanoi for 4 years now. The room less than 15 m2 is where she lives with her husband and daughter “in and out”. Her health is not good, so the main income in the family is still under the care of her husband and daughter. Occasionally, she went to Long Bien market to take some shrimp and bring them to retail to increase her spending. The temporary accommodation is built on a cultivated land, without a red book. Although she pays full land tax every year, Ms. Ngat and the whole hamlet always have the spirit of “temporary residence”. If the city has land to build, they will move. “The living quarters of the working people are not spacious, beautiful, everything is temporary, but everyone living together is always happy,” said Ms. Tuoi. She added, there are families living here for decades, since the first days the village was built. Just like that, there are kids who have grown up here with their parents. “Grandma let me go ashore”, the boy Hieu called to Mrs. Oanh. For people in Phao hamlet, “going ashore” means going to work, going out, and “going in the water” means going home. The old boat with an area of ​​about 20 m2 has been the house of Mrs. Oanh’s family for nearly 20 years. The whole family of 3 is 3 generations: Grandmother, youngest daughter and grandchild. Nguyen Tien Hieu (5 years old) was born here, can also be considered a Hanoi boy, although Hieu’s birth certificate and household registration must be very difficult to do. Ms. Nguyen Thi Oanh, a farmer from Yen Thanh (Nghe An). She was one of the people in Phao village for the longest time. She did not remember the year she came here, the woman only remembered that her youngest daughter was only 7 years old. Over the years, her boat house has been damaged, or even broken, during the great floods. However, she still repaired to stay, because life here “is still easier than in the countryside”. The Red River is in high water season, every time a boat goes back and forth, the water waves rush into her family’s boat, the boat keeps rocking all day. However, with grandchildren, “it will be familiar to live a long life,” said Mrs. Oanh. The people of Phao village, nearly 30 dozen households, live close together by the river bank. Until now, their activities have no electricity or water. So is Mrs. Oanh’s family. A few units came down to support people with solar panels, batteries. However, every day when the sun is strong, the electricity is strong, and like in winter, the whole space in the boat is dimly lit because there is not enough electricity. Although it is about 3 km from the center, but Phao hamlet wants to connect and move back and forth with the city, there is only one road from the middle of Long Bien Bridge sloping down. A hurried, bumpy, concrete road less than 1m wide with grass cluttering on both sides. Young Hieu attended a private kindergarten across the river. Every day, at 6:30, Mrs. Oanh took her bicycle to school, and picked her up again in the afternoon. A few days ago, while taking Hieu back from school, when we took the bicycle from Long Bien Bridge down the steep road, our two grandchildren fell down and had to wait for everyone around to help. The accident also made her knee aching so far. The life of the people of Phao village was like that, when the big country came, they ran ashore. They stayed at the neighbor’s house. Soon, for a few days, for a whole month. That’s why everyone wants the flood season to be short for life to be stable. When asked, if she later proceeded to plan the land on both sides of the river, where would her family live, Mrs. Oanh just looked at the far bridge, dropping her thin shoulders: Where is not known. At least there is no cost of rent here like the lodgers.
