Close-up of tourist areas that 'kill' Luong stream, forced to be dismantled

At some tourist spots along Luong stream (Hoa Hiep Bac Ward, Lien Chieu District, Da Nang City), many businesses arbitrarily built solid structures, blocking and blocking the stream to create lakes and landscapes ( Thanh Nien reported).

This action causes the stream to be blocked upstream, causing water shortages downstream. As the hot season approaches, blocking the flow affects production and people's lives.

Local authorities warn of illegal construction

The authorities of Hoa Hiep Bac Ward are coordinating with relevant agencies to record tourism businesses in the Luong Stream area. These establishments must dismantle the stream embankment that changes the flow of the stream. If they do not comply, they will be forced to dismantle it according to regulations.

Recorded by Thanh Nien reporter on March 23, Investors have brazenly built concrete dams to block natural flows to store water, creating deep lakes for tourists to bathe in. Illegal construction is rampant.

Households built many solid structures along the stream.

Along the entire 2 km Luong stream, there are many spontaneous eco-tourism spots that have existed for decades.

Mr. Nguyen H. (residing in Lien Chieu District) said that the arbitrary construction of tourist areas has seriously affected the natural flow of the stream. Many households arbitrarily built stone embankments, sprayed concrete to build dams to block the stream to make swimming pools, greatly affecting the natural flow, causing landslides when there were floods. During the historic flood in October 2022, many concrete dams were torn apart by floodwaters.

Mr. Ha Thuc Nhon, Chairman of the People's Committee of Hoa Hiep Bac Ward (Lien Chieu District, Da Nang ) affirmed that the blocking of Luong stream by tourist areas and spots is against regulations.

Explaining the many illegal constructions in the area, the leader of Hoa Hiep Bac Ward said that tourism development along Luong stream has a lot of potential, but is currently stuck with old regulations, making it very difficult to manage these long-standing tourist areas.

According to the Chairman of the People's Committee of Hoa Hiep Bac Ward, the area along Luong Stream from the foot of Hai Van Mountain to the downstream has a total of 11 spontaneous tourist spots and 1 tourist area licensed by the People's Committee of Da Nang City (Suoi Luong Eco-tourism Area belonging to Danatol Joint Stock Company).

"After receiving the feedback, the local authorities went to inspect and discovered that the tourist area and businesses had arbitrarily built dams to block the flow of Luong stream. The ward has requested Danatol Joint Stock Company and other illegal businesses to voluntarily dismantle all stream blocking structures in the Luong stream area," said Mr. Nhon.

The tourist lake was created by blocking the flow of Luong stream.

Regarding the issue of illegal construction in Hoa Hiep Bac Ward, the leader of Lien Chieu District People's Committee said that relevant agencies have received information and sent functional forces to inspect, make a record and will take measures to handle the matter.

"The district has directed functional forces to coordinate with the authorities of Hoa Hiep Bac Ward to be present at tourist sites for inspection. Violators will be forced to dismantle immediately.
