Model collective housing in the middle of the mining street
With the specific nature of shift work, many coal industry workers in Quang Ninh have to work far from their families. Therefore, taking care of accommodation, living space, entertainment, and sports after work hours is identified by many businesses as an important part of the policy of stabilizing and retaining labor.

The dormitory area also arranges 4 family accommodation rooms, serving workers far from home when relatives come to visit during short holidays.
Mr. Nguyen Van Vu - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Vang Danh Coal Joint Stock Company - Vinacomin - said that most of the workers in the collective area are migrant workers, coming from many different regions. Therefore, the company has built cultural and sports clubs suitable to the needs and preferences of workers.
