Ngoa Van spring festival in Dong Trieu township, which started on
February 24 (the ninth day of the lunar year), drew 25,000 visitors on its
first three days.
Other festivals that attracted many visitors include Uong Bi
city’s Ba Vang temple and Yen Tu festivals, Van Ninh festival in Mong Cai city,
Luc Na festival in Binh Lieu district and Ha Long city’s Loi Am temple
festival.
Local authorities have paid heed to restoring relics, notably in
the Yen Tu relic site in Uong Bi.
This year, Uong Bi city has worked to ensure social order and
traffic safety and prevent fire and explosion. Kiosks will be arranged to
introduce tourism products and services to visitors.
In preparation for the festival, investments have been made in
infrastructure in the Yen Tu spiritual tourism site, including the upgrade of
the road to Yen Tu relic site and the construction of a new cable car system to
prevent traffic congestion.
The relic’s managing board has also worked to complete the first
phase of the Yen Tu festival tourism services centre, which features Truc Lam
palace, a Zen garden, a pilgrimage village and the King monk Tran Nhan Tong
museum.
Quang Ninh also stepped up monitoring and management in the
festivals to ensure safety for visitors.
In 2018, a series of festivals will be held in 14 localities of
Quang Ninh.
The province, home to the World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay, is
the host of the National Tourism Year 2018 themed "Ha Long-Heritage, Wonder,
Friendly Destination”. It is projected to host at least 51 cultural, sports and
tourism events throughout the year.
Highlights include the opening ceremony and Carnaval Ha Long 2018
in Ha Long city, which is scheduled for April 28.
