Restore the natural beauty of Ha Long Bay Heritage

Many people in Quang Ninh province were pleased when the local government removed the long-damaged light show from three mountains on Ha Long Bay (in Ha Long ward). The removal was completed two weeks ago.

Mr. H. Hung, a resident of Ha Long Ward, shared that the removal of the light system that had been damaged for nearly ten years had restored the natural beauty of the landscape to the World Heritage - Natural Wonder of Ha Long Bay. The mountains of Ha Long Bay are no longer "dirty" by the piles of rusty iron and steel that crisscross the cliffs.

The art light show system on Ha Long Bay was invested in 2010, completed and put into use in 2011 and was shown on the occasion of Ha Long Carnival 2012 with an investment of more than 140 billion VND. Son Lam Tourism Limited Liability Company (Hanoi) is the project implementation unit.

The investment is large but the effectiveness of the laser projection system is not as expected. According to the design, the installation of the system on 3 coastal mountains on Ha Long Bay will allow to project images related to Quang Ninh province, Ha Long city (old) in general, and the beautiful scenery of Ha Long Bay in particular in the air.

This laser system was only shown well a few times, the rest of its existence was only turned on with dim light on a few holidays and Tet without being able to project artistic images in the air as designed. In recent years, the light system was completely damaged, the iron rusted, and occasionally a few broken lights fell into the bay.

After more than ten years of existence, many generations of local leaders have failed to finalize the project. Up to now, although the project has been adjusted and the investment method has been changed, many retired officials of Quang Ninh believe that this is also a valuable lesson about ineffective investment that the local government needs to learn from to avoid waste.
