Hanoi sees light traffic congestion on the first working day after Tet

Image
Vehicles can easily move on usually-busy two-way streets. Compared to normal days, the traffic moving towards the capital’s gateways is heavy, although there is no signs of severe congestion. A long line of vehicles waits at a green light on Nguyen Trai street. A traffic police officer arrives early on Trieu Khuc street in order to guide the flow of traffic. The Nguyen Xien-Nguyen Trai intersection is slightly crowded, with vehicles able to move at a slow pace. Vehicles only clog up the area as cars and motorbikes wait for the light to turn green. During rush hour this morning, the majority of vehicles move at a snail’s pace on Nguyen Trai street. The same situation can be seen on Truong Chinh street. There are no traffic jams reported on Kham Thien, Ton Duc Thang, and Chua Boc streets. On the first working day of the new year, clear streets means no stress and a less tiring envi...

The first Bun tree found in Hanoi several years ago is planted in front of the Cultural House of Dinh Thon Village, My Dinh Ward, Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi. The tree, with a large old trunk and two broad canopies, is said to be over 300 years old. The second Bun plant in Hanoi w...

The Government of Vietnam is seeking approval from the National Assembly to issue electronic visas to citizens of all countries and territories.

Photo: Trung Vu/ The Hanoi Times Accordingly, Vietnam would extend visa validity from 30 to less than 90 days for single or multiple entries and stay from 15 to 45 days for foreign visitors from Vietnam’s Visa Waiver Program countries and territories. The measure is seen as a boost for the development of Vietnam’s “smokeless industry”, which will enhance the competitiveness of national tourism in Southeast Asia. The country reinstated the visa waiver policy for citizens of 24 countries after three years of border closures due to Covid-19. Despite being one of the first countries in Southeast Asia to fully lift border restrictions, the travel industry has not recovered as expected. Restrictive visa policies are l...
