‘Western Street’ Ta Hien is deserted during the holidays

Dubbed the busiest ‘sleepless’ street in the capital, but on the occasion of the 30/4 -1/5 holiday, the ‘West’ neighborhood of Ta Hien (Hanoi) became deserted. No more night bars, some restaurants and bars here are also waiting for customers.

During the holidays, the weather in the capital is “pleasing to people”, which is a suitable condition for people to participate in outdoor fun activities. Cool evening, quite crowded, vehicles flock to the central area around Hoan Kiem Lake. Most people have raised their awareness of epidemic prevention, actively wearing masks in public places. On Tay Ta Hien Street, shop owners and customers are also more aware of epidemic prevention, actively wearing masks, the restaurant has antiseptic water. In addition to the bars that have been closed for epidemic prevention at the request of the Hanoi People’s Committee, the restaurants here are still operating during the holidays, but the number of visitors has decreased significantly compared to usual. The street is empty, the shop is full of scenes of “sea of ​​people” sitting close together as usual. Even an employee of a restaurant here said that the current number of guests is too empty compared to other holidays and weekends, compared to just a few days ago, it has also decreased by more than half. “Sometimes I have to refuse guests because there are no tables, but now the staff actively offering them are still empty,” this person said. The functional forces are regularly present to ensure security and order, remind business households and people to comply with epidemic prevention requirements. The section of Ta Hien street, the area with many bars and pubs, is dark and dim Unlike the “Western” street area, although the pedestrian street is closed to prevent the COVID-19 epidemic, the walking path around the lake and flower garden still attracts a large number of visitors and fun. Besides those who strictly abide by the regulations on wearing masks, there are still cases of people wearing masks. Some families going out “forgot” masks for young children.
