The nationwide travel boom reflects a growing trend of domestic tourism and a strong demand for short holiday getaways after extended working periods. In the photo, heavy traffic queues at Dong Bai ferry terminal as vehicles wait to cross to Cat Ba Island, Hai Phong city, on April 30.

The Dong Bai ferry operator deploys all available staff and vessels to serve residents and tourists during this year’s holiday.

Along Route 353 from the city centre to Do Son beach, Hai Phong city, long lines of cars cause mild congestion.

Local authorities in Do Son ward instructs tourism facilities, restaurants and hotels to upgrade their spaces and improve service quality for residents and visitors.

Meanwhile, in Hanoi, many residents opt for local leisure activities such as visiting museums and parks instead of travelling far, amid rising fuel costs.

Traditional water puppetry performances offer a cultural highlight, bringing generations together through shared experiences.

Water-based entertainment venues in the capital city also see a surge in visitors.
