After dropping the passenger at the Bistro, Mr Luong found a plastic bag in his taxi which contained 200 million VND in cash.  He immediately contacted his passenger, and returned the missing property to her on the same day. 

The recipient sincerely thanked Mr Luong for his good deed, and expressed her strong admiration for him as he overcame his greed and returned the large amount to its owner.

The company also honoured and rewarded the driver for his honesty.

Over recent years, many local taxi drivers have done good deeds as Mr Luong.  Each of local taxi drivers is considered to be a tourism ambassador for Da Nang in advertising the beautiful images of their companies, and the the city’s tourism sector as a whole, to international friends.
