On July 2, information from the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tuyen Quang province said that this unit has no plans to change the "Ha Giang Km0" milestone and surrounding areas.
"The authorities will keep their positions, forms and information as they are now, and there will be no changes after the two provinces are merged. The authorities have no plans to intervene in the milestone area.
This symbol continues to serve the needs of sightseeing and photography, serving as an address to connect emotions between tourists and the land that was once Ha Giang province", according to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tuyen Quang province.
The Km0 milestone is located on Nguyen Trai Street, Ha Giang 1 Ward, Tuyen Quang Province (formerly Nguyen Trai Ward, Ha Giang City) and is the starting point of National Highway 2. From this location, it is the starting point on the journey to explore famous tourist destinations such as Dong Van ancient town, Stone plateau, Lung Cu Flag Tower, Ma Pi Leng Pass, Quan Ba double mountain.
For a long time, the Km0 milestone has been rumored by tourists to be a must-chick destination when coming to Tuyen Quang province (formerly Ha Giang). In fact, in the 26/3 Square area, there are 2 Km0 milestones located at the same location.
The first milestone is similar to other traffic milestones with a guiding effect made of concrete, designed simply, placed next to National Highway 2, on 4 sides with the parameters: "QL.2", "Km 290", "Ha Giang 0 km", "QL.2" and "Tuyen Quang 155km".
The second milestone is more like a tourist destination when located in the 26/3 Square area next to the Lo River. The newly built part is made of diamond, railing and natural stone paving with three parts: the top is ball-shaped, about 90cm in diameter; the body is pillar-shaped, 150cm high, 100cm long and the foot is terraced, 100cm high.
The landmarks are written in three languages: Vietnamese, English, Chinese, including the following parameters: QL2 KM290, Ha Giang Km 0; date of establishment: 20-8-1891, area: 7,884.37km2, Ha Giang - Hanoi: 320km, Ha Giang - Dong Van: 155km and below are the words National Standard Bridge 104.499m.
The location of the marker is located in the campus with a spacious and airy space, ensuring traffic safety, so it has become a place for taking photos and visiting many tourists. According to local people, this area was built nearly 20 years ago.
