On the afternoon of August 29, in an exchange with Lao Dong Newspaper, a representative of the Dong Bai - Cai Vieng ferry terminal management board said that from this morning, the number of passengers passing through the ferry terminal was less than on previous weekends, much less than on the September 2 holidays of previous years. As of 4 pm on the same day, the ferry terminal has not recorded any time of congestion or queuing, and vehicles moved quickly and conveniently.
The unusual deserted situation at Dong Bai ferry terminal on the first day of the September 2nd holiday is identified as being due to the 5-day holiday. On August 29, some units and businesses are still operating and producing, and workers have not had many holidays. It is forecasted that on August 30 (Sunday), the number of passengers will increase.
In addition to attractive tourist areas at home and abroad such as Cat Ba, Do Son, Con Son - Kiep Bac..., during this holiday, Hai Phong launches a pedestrian street - night food street in the City Theater Square area, from 6 pm to 12 pm on weekends. Tomorrow, August 30th, the city will organize the "Joining Vietnam to Advance" walking program in 2026 with the participation of more than 3,000 people; the art program "Under the Starlight of Independence" celebrating the 81st National Day September 2nd on the evening of September 1st... From August 31st to September 2nd, the Traditional Festival of Khuc Thua Du Temple in 2026 will take place with a series of cultural, sports and traditional ritual activities... promising to attract a large number of people and tourists.
