Ha Long Festival

A highlight of the festival will be a street carnival during which symbolic images of Hanoi will be paraded alongside thousands of professional and amateur artists from both inside and outside the country.

The festival promises a series of diverse activities, including fireworks, boat races, a conference of the world’s most beautiful bays, an international tourism-trade fair, exhibitions, concerts and a beauty pageant.

The province’s tourism sector, travel agencies and relevant sectors are making preparations for the event with 8,000 hotel rooms and over 400 ships which can welcome 16,000 tourists at one time.

In the first two months of the year, nearly 760,000 visitors, including 328,000 foreigners visited Quang Ninh.
