25/07/2012

VGP - A new highway is currently being constructed by two local governments to shorten the travelling distance from Hanoi to Hai Long Bay to only 125 km. This will mean that in two to three years, it will only take 1.5 hours to travel between two cities. 

The highway is being considered by the government as one of the most important infrastructure work in the next few years. With the strong support of the government and funding for the highway already obtained, the highway is expected to complete and open as planned.

With the completion of this highway, Ha Long Bay will not only be a popular tourism location but also an attractive weekend getaway for the Hanoi people.

The most interesting stretch of highway will be from Hai Phong to Ha Long bay, its length of only 25 km will demographically linked the population in these cities into 1 as it will only take 25 minutes to go from Hai Phong to Ha Long. The airport at Hai Phong will also serve as a big boost to the tourism numbers in Hai Long as tourist can now fly direct to Hai Phong and take a 25 minutes drive to the Hai Long Bay Tourism area.

This 25 km highway not only will serve to increase dramatically the tourism number to Ha Long, it is also considered an important trade route between Southern China and Vietnam. This highway will be from Hai Phong, cut through Ha Long Bay and ends at the Northern gate to China - Hoa Nam.
