On Monday afternoon, Da Nang People’s Committee Vice Chairman Le Trung Chinh chaired a meeting with some representatives from municipal relevant departments and agencies to discuss the trial implementation of a plan on ensuring safety of visitors on the Son Tra Peninsula.

The pilot plan will run from 1 November 2019 - 1 February 2020. Accordingly, all vehicles, excluding scooters which are now prohibited from travelling in this Peninsula, are allowed to travel on a road leading to the more-than-a-century-old banyan tree which intersects Hoang Sa Street, and a road leading to the Ban Co (Chessboard) Peak and the Bai Bac tourist site which intersects Yet Kieu Street, and a road leading to the Om (Hug) Stream which intersects Yet Kieu Street.

Besides, some security guard stations will be built along the above-mentioned roads in order to remind vehicle drivers to pay extra careful attention to riding their vehicles to the peninsula, especially when going up and down slopes.

Also, professional transportation vehicles will be used to transport visitors to the Son Tra Peninsula instead of their private ones in order to ensure their safety.

A representative from the municipal Department of Tourism highlighted the significance of the pilot plan in helping the city manage the number of people and vehicles travelling to the peninsula every day, especially at night, in order to prevent accidents and timely handle unexpected incidents.

In addition, the operation of professional transportation vehicles will help offer visitors additional options for travelling vehicles to the peninsula.
