On February 26, the People's Committee of Da Lat City allowed the extension of passenger carriage car operations around Xuan Huong Lake until March 31, 2025.
This is a temporary solution after the government received many criticisms about completely stopping this type of service for tourists visiting Da Lat.
Previously, on February 21, the People's Committee of Da Lat City issued a document requesting to stop the business of horse-drawn carriages around Xuan Huong Lake.
This is to ensure landscape and urban order. However, according to the proposal of the People's Committee of Ward 8, Da Lat City has considered and agreed to extend the operating period by one more month to find a more suitable solution.
Currently, the authorities are assigned the task of coordinating with business households to convert horse-drawn carriages to tourist areas and destinations in the area.
The government is also studying the plan to relocate the horse racing area to Ngo Tat To Street and consider allowing operations on the Lam Vien roundabout.
Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper published an article "Da Lat bans horse-drawn carriages around Xuan Huong Lake".
The content of the article reflects that Da Lat city determined that the operation of horse-drawn carriages carrying tourists around Xuan Huong lake does not ensure traffic safety, and is not in accordance with legal regulations.
The People's Committee of Da Lat City has assigned authorities to install signs and prohibit the operation of horse-drawn carriages carrying tourists around the shore of Xuan Huong Lake.
The Da Lat City government assigned authorities to install signs prohibiting horse-drawn carriages on the traffic route around Xuan Huong Lake.
The authorities study the regulations to advise the city on the location of the wharf and the route of the passenger car service around Tuyen Lam Lake and Tuyen Lam Lake National Tourist Area, Da Lat.
