巴域木牌边界关口‧將扩大车道减堵塞

巴域木牌边界关口‧將扩大车道减堵塞

柬埔寨政府和亚洲开发银行合作,计划扩大柴楨省(Svay Rieng)巴域(Bavet)和越南木牌(Moc Bai)国际口岸的车道,以解?关口检查站堵塞现象,进一步促进两国商业和旅客往来。

据財经部通告指出,公共工程和运输部要求把巴域和木牌关口的车道,由现有的两条增加於四条,以解决因交通流量激增而出现的交通堵塞现象。

据巴域关口移民官员指出,由於现有关口车道狭窄,导致许多卡车大排长龙,目前估计每天有多达100辆卡车由越南入境我国。

公共工程和运输总局总监肯波雷指出,该局將利用亚洲开发银行提供的援助项目,以扩大关口车道至4车道,工程估计將於明年竣工。

他说,接下来,关口海关大厦也將扩大,由现有的一公顷扩大一倍,以解决堵塞和加快通关速度。

Cruise boats traveling along the Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe Canal in a new tour launched on September 1, 2015. Ho Chi Minh City to add rowboat tours to downtown canal

The Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Department Tuesday launched a boat tour of the Nhieu Loc – Thi Nghe Canal in and around the downtown area.

The three-hour tour, offered by the Saigon Boat Company, covers a total distance of 4.5 km (2.8 miles) and takes visitors from a pier near Thi Nghe Bridge to Le Van Sy Bridge and back.

Thi Nghe Bridge is situated near Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens at 2 Nguyen Binh Khiem Street in District 1. Le Van Sy Bridge is located near Nguyen Van Troi Market on Le Van Sy Street in District 3.

The tourist boats also dock by a boat to see performances of don ca tai tu, a traditional southern music genre, and modern music.

Tourists also learn about the history of the city, especially the canals.

Tickets cost VND220,000 per person for row boats with six passengers, and VND110,000 for cruise boats with a capacity of 20. The former boats are rowed by Vietnamese women in ao dai, the traditional tunic.

A snack is served during the 4.5-kilometer trip through districts 1, 3, Binh Thanh and Phu Nhuan.

Tickets are sold at the two terminals near Thi Nghe Bridge and Le Van Sy Bridge.

Nguyen Thi Hong, the city deputy mayor, hailed the canal tour as an effort to improve tourism products to attract locals and foreigners.

“This is a new model that the city's government should expand, based on privatizing the service. The city will also invest in improving destinations along the canals. The main aim is to give the city’s tourism a facelift.” The Nhieu Loc – Thi Nghe Canal runs for around eight kilometers through seven districts.

After years of being badly polluted, it was cleaned up last year through a World Bank-funded city renovation project.
