Coffee shop with a bus twist in Central Highlands
Coffee shop with a bus twist in Vietnam’s Central Highlands
A Vietnamese woman from the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak has designed a coffee shop utilizing an old bus, providing a unique experience to customers.
The Bus Coffee, located in Buon Ma Thuot City, simulates a modern-looking bus station, featuring sidewalks, stations, and road markings for buses.
The highlight of the venue is a yellow bus at its center. The vehicle’s interior has been refurbished with wooden seats and tables, giving it a retro feel.

The person behind the creation is Phan Nguyen Hoai Thu, 32, the owner of the coffee shop.
Thu said that she searched many places for a bus that fit her needs and eventually found one at a scrap trading center in the neighboring province of Dak Nong.
“The important thing was that the bus’ frame had to be in good condition for long-term safety, and that the bus was long enough to install seats and tables,” she explained.

The bus has two air-conditioners, one at each end, while its original steering wheel and driver’s seat have remained.
The original entrance and exit doors have also been retained, allowing waiters and “passengers” to board and disembark from the bus.
“As the main concept centers on the bus, a lot of the fixtures and furniture in the venue are made from parts of the vehicle,” the coffee shop owner said.
Tables and planting pots have been made from used tires.
The unique coffee venue has been welcomed by scores of young customers and received positive feedback because of its comfort and friendly atmosphere.

“Customers can easily find a seat that suits their preference thanks to the iconic design of the bus, allowing them to enjoy a window view,” Nguyen Phan Hoai Thuong, a student of Tay Nguyen University, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.
“Today social networking is still on the rise, which means there is a great thirst for sharing visual information among people, especially the young,” Thu said, explaining why she came up with the design.
“Thus, something familiar but unique and endearing fits what customers need, checking in on social networks or saving their moment with photos of their families and friends.”

Hanoi is set to ban all vehicles on streets around Hoan Kiem (Sword) Lake every evening from Friday to Sunday starting September 1 to make it tourist-friendly.
They will be pedestrians-only from 7 p.m. to midnight, and relevant agencies will assign personnel to regulate traffic and prevent possible congestion elsewhere as a result, according to Hanoi Transport Department.
Several bus routes will be modified to avoid the banned areas.
Around the area, there will be 18 parking lots for buses and cars and 57 for motorbikes with a capacity of more than 600 cars and 2,700 motorbikes.
The capital got its first walking-only street in 2004 when a section of Hang Dao Street was made off-limits to vehicles.
A decade later more walking streets were designated in the old quarter: like Hang Buom, Hang Giay, Luong Ngoc Quyen, Ma May, Dao Duy Tu and Ta Hien.
From September 1 the city will also lift a midnight curfew on restaurants, bars, cafés, karaoke parlors and others in another move to promote tourism.
They will be allowed to remain open until 2 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The former imperial city Hue is going to install an audio guide system in five languages to serve visitors at its attractions.
Phan Thanh Hai, director of the Center for Preservation of Hue Former Citadel Relics, said audio guides are being planned for major tomb sites and the royal citadel.
Hue was the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 until the end of feudal Vietnam in 1945.
v Hai said the system will be developed with private investment and tourists will have to pay to access the guides, apart from entrance tickets.
It is unclear when the new service will be launched and which other languages, besides English, will be chosen.
v The center is also going to introduce e-tickets and free Wi-Fi at the sites soon.
Thua Thien-Hue Province, which is known for the imperial city, pagodas and other natural attractions, received around 58,000 tourists during the National Day weekend between September 2 and 4.
Foreign visitors during the first eight months increased 36.5 percent from a year ago and accounted for more than half of nearly 1.8 million tourists coming to the province.
