Tons of blood cockles washed ashore in Quang Binh
On November 1, local people discovered many clumps of blood cockles washing up on the shore of Quang Tho ward (Ba Don town, Quang Binh province). Hundreds of people then went to the beach to harvest the "heavenly gift".
The location of the blood cockles washed ashore is in Tho Don residential area with a length of about 1km. People use sacks, plastic pots, baskets… to go to the sea to collect them.
Because the price of blood cockles is not high, most people only keep them for themselves or for relatives.

The country's largest bus station is still empty after 4 years of operation.
Four years after its inauguration, the new Mien Dong bus station - expected to become the most modern inter-provincial transport hub in Vietnam - remains deserted and unable to attract the expected number of passengers.
With a total area of over 16 hectares, the new Eastern Bus Station is located in Thu Duc City, about 20km from the center of Ho Chi Minh City. The bus station was built to serve up to 7 million passengers per year. However, since the first phase of operation in October 2020, the bus station has only reached 5% of its capacity. Every day, the bus station has more than 200 departures, transporting about 3,000 passengers.
One of the main reasons why passengers hesitate to use the new Mien Dong bus station is because of the long distance and inconvenient traffic connections.
