The timely issuance of resolutions on socio-economic development management and budget revenue and expenditure right after the Quang Ninh Provincial People's Council issued Resolution 278/NQ-HDND adjusting the 2025 budget estimate demonstrates the spirit of proactiveness, innovation, and close adherence to the province's direction, helping the Ward People's Committee to deploy work right from the beginning.

A convergence of education, culture, tourism and modern urban

Ha Long Ward was established on the basis of merging Hong Ha and Hong Hai wards, which are the administrative center of the province with the headquarters of the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, Provincial People's Committee and many important departments, branches and sectors.

The choice of the name "Ha Long" for the new ward is not only symbolic but also shows the central position of this administrative unit.
