On the occasion of National Day September 2nd, Hanoi is offering free tickets at a series of attractions and relics to serve people and tourists, including the Hoa Lo Prison Relic.
Lao Dong's records on the morning of September 2nd, people lined up along streets near the Hoa Lo Prison Relic area such as Quan Su, Hai Ba Trung, Tho Nhuom... waiting for their turn to visit.
Ms. Le Thao Phuong (Thanh Hoa) spends time for her 2 children to go to the Capital on National Day September 2 this year. Hoa Lo Prison relic is one of her family's destinations during this holiday. This morning, her family had to queue for more than 30 minutes to visit.
The children want to play in Hanoi before starting the new school year. I choose many locations such as the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, Uncle Ho's Mausoleum, Hoa Lo Prison, Vietnam Military History Museum so that my children can both visit and learn about history" - Ms. Thao Phuong said.
Ms. Phuong's family's feeling is that although the number of customers is very large in the hot and sunny weather, there is no jostling or pushing. "Everyone is queuing neatly waiting for their turn" - Ms. Phuong said.
Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, an employee at Hoa Lo Prison Relic said that the number of tourists visiting today is very large, partly because entrance tickets are free.
The management board will mobilize maximum manpower, serving visitors thoughtfully" - this person said.
