Tourist cities regain bustle after Covid-19 restriction relaxed
People walk along a promenade by the iconic Han River in Da Nang City, but wear masks and keep a distance of one meter from each other. |
Huynh Thi Diem Trinh, 41, a teacher, and her six-year-old son, Vo Phuc Hung, return to the beach after more than a month. |
The shower area remains closed to avoid gatherings. |
Restaurants and food establishments are allowed to serve guests but with only half the covers. At a famous vermicelli and sticky rice shop on Hung Vuong Street in Hai Chau District, staff wear masks while customers sit apart from each other. |
A hair salon on Le Do Street in Thanh Khe District welcomes the first guests after 35 days it was closed to comply with the city's pandemic prevention measures. |
Locals distance themselves from each other at a coffee shop on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street in Hai Chau District. |
Hon Gai beach in Ha Long Town, home to the world-famous bay of the same name. The 900-meter-long beach only opened during the recent Reunification Day-Labor Day holidays. |
People walk on the 4.7-kilometer Tran Quoc Nghien Road that runs along Ha Long Bay. |
Public gyms are a popular choice. During the fourth coronavirus wave that has hit the country since April 27, Quang Ninh recorded one infection. |
Tuan Chau Wharf, where all Ha Long Bay cruise ships and boats dock, is deserted since Quang Ninh has not yet lifted an entry ban for tourists. |
Without tourists or business, hundreds of cruise ships have remained anchored for long. Since its recognition as a UNESCO natural world heritage in 1994, Ha Long Bay has found a spot on the global tourism map, with travel bloggers and filmmakers hailing its emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone pillars topped by rainforests. |
