On February 18, the Vung Tau Ward Public Service Center (HCMC) said that the locality welcomed about 33,000 tourists to have fun and experience at the beaches in the area on the 2nd day of Tet.
A large number of tourists are starting to move to the eastern area of Ho Chi Minh City for spring travel. Although the number of tourists is quite large, there is no prolonged congestion on National Highway 51, the section passing through Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, a large number of tourists also choose to travel by sea ferry from Can Gio to Vung Tau for spring travel, causing many ferry routes to be packed with passengers.
On the afternoon of February 18, a large number of tourists gathered in the Bai Sau area (Vung Tau ward) to have fun. Welcoming a large number of tourists, some coastal roads had quite a lot of vehicles participating in traffic, leading to slow traffic through the area. As for the beach, high tide reduced the sand beach area, so many places were packed with beachgoers.
The Vung Tau Ward Public Service Center said that the security and order situation, beach safety and environmental sanitation, and urban aesthetics have been ensured to be stable in recent days.
There have been 3 cases of entering dangerous whirlpools on the 1st and 2nd days of Tet, but they were promptly rescued and brought ashore safely by the coastal rescue force on duty.
Since February 14, Vung Tau has welcomed more than 46,000 tourists to play and relax. Many art programs celebrating Binh Ngo Spring 2026; The Lion - Monk - Dragon Festival of Vung Tau ward expanded for the first time held in the locality has attracted a large number of people and tourists to participate and respond.
