Vietnam Makes Ha Long Bay Fireworks Free for Tourists
Vietnam has officially removed all viewing charges for its weekend fireworks displays in Ha Long Bay, centralizing the event at Sun Carnival Square in Bai Chay Ward to ensure a free and inclusive experience for both domestic and international tourists. The decision follows public criticism over previously imposed fees at select viewing locations, such as restaurant boats and commercial venues, which many believed created unfair access during peak tourist season. In response, Ha Long Sun Company, the event organizer, announced it will no longer host fireworks at Ha Long International Passenger Port or support paid-viewing arrangements. From now through December 31, fireworks will light up the skies every Friday and Saturday night from 9 PM to 10 PM at Sun Carnival Square—completely free of charge. The move underscores Vietnam’s growing commitment to transparent, accessible tourism and is expected to boost visitor satisfaction while supporting the local economy through increased foot traffic in central areas.
