This is the first group of Chinese cruise passengers to pass through the Ha Long international cruise port this year, as reported by the provincial Department of Tourism.
As planned, these cruise passengers will spend one day exploring Ha Long Bay and another day touring Ha Long City, as well as visiting some tourist destinations in Hanoi.
The cruise ship will then travel to Da Nang City in central Vietnam and Hong Kong before returning to the port of Shekou in Shenzhen, located in Guangdong Province, mainland China.
The first cruise ship from the port of Shekou entering Ha Long City showed a positive sign of Quang Ninh’s inbound tourism and the increasing number of Chinese travelers returning after the COVID-19 pandemic.
