According to Resolution No. 16/2023/NQ-HDND of the Hanoi People's Council on changing ticket prices at relic sites, applied from January 1, 2024. Specifically, at the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, it increased from 30,000 VND to 70,000 VND (2.3 times increase); Hoa Lo from 30,000 VND to 50,000 VND, Ngoc Son Temple from 30,000 VND to 50,000 VND (1.6 times increase); Thang Long Imperial Citadel Center from 30,000 VND to 100,000 VND (3.3 times increase); Co Loa from 10,000 VND to 30,000 VND (3 times increase); Huong Pagoda increased from 78,000 VND to 120,000 VND (1.5 times increase) ... compared to the prescribed level in 2020.
In particular, Hanoi also gives priority to the following groups: Children under 16 years old, people with severe disabilities are exempt from entrance fees; seniors aged 60 and over, students aged 16 and over, people in particularly difficult communes in mountainous and remote areas, and people with revolutionary contributions receive a 50% discount on ticket prices.
Hoa Lo Prison relic is one of the places that increased entrance fees.
The reality of recent implementation shows that the increase in ticket prices has had a certain impact on tourists, especially as the April 30 - May 1 holiday approaches. The increase in ticket prices at most relics has created a "uniform" pressure on tours and tourist routes; many travel agencies have had to recalculate tour costs for customers. Domestic tourists, students, and the elderly have considered more carefully when visiting relics because they have to spend a large amount of money compared to the general cost level.
Public opinion cannot help but wonder about some priority regulations such as "people with severe disabilities", "people in especially difficult communes in mountainous and remote areas"... which are still general and will easily lead to questions and arguments during the application process.
Previously, according to Resolution 06/2020/NQ-HDND of the Hanoi People's Council, the one-way entrance fee for each visitor to the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam relic is 30,000 VND, Ngoc Son Temple relic is 30,000 VND, Hoa Lo Prison relic is 30,000 VND, Thang Long Imperial Citadel Center is 30,000 VND, Co Loa relic is 10,000 VND, Huong Pagoda relic is the highest at 78,000 VND...
Thus, most entrance fees to scenic spots, historical relics and cultural works in Hanoi have increased.
