On September 2, a large number of locals and tourists flocked to the Quang Ninh Museum to purchase tickets for a visit. Due to the overwhelming turnout, the Ha Long City Traffic Police had to be on duty from early morning at Tran Quoc Nghien Street to manage the traffic flow.
The two ticket counters at the museum were constantly crowded, and people had to queue up to buy tickets. The entrance fee to the Quang Ninh Museum is VND 40,000 for adults, VND 20,000 for children, and free for toddlers and people with disabilities.
