Unlike previous years, Da Nang appears less busy than usual during national holidays amid fears of coronavirus although many tourist sites in the city are reopening.

The city experiences nice weather on national holidays

Streets were not empty but were not as busy as they normally are

Employees of agencies and departments, as well as those of political and social organisations across the city, officially have 4 days off from 30 April to 3 May for the National Reunification Day (30 April) and International Labour Day (1 May).

Vietnamese national flags hung in front of homes during the public holidays.

The bustling Bach Dang Street is less crowded than usual

Life in the city is regaining its normal after the social distancing measures have been eased but some certain restrictions remain in place

Inter-provincial and subsidised intra-city buses have resumed their services, but seeing low passenger numbers

The reflecting 29 March Park, normally filled with people, is much quieter than normal with fewer people visting

There were a few children in the 29 March Park

Residents relax sitting on benches on Bach Dang Street

During the ongoing public holidays, coffee shops are an attractive go-to for local residents to relax, enjoy coffee and talk with friends
