After more than a week of campaigning to eradicate, according to the reporter's records, prostitution in Hon Cau has basically ended. Crowded streets with countless restaurants and motels are now deserted, with few people passing by. Photo: Quang An

If in front of the shops are restaurant signs, inside are squalid, cramped level 4 rooms, on average only 10m2 - 12m2 wide. This form of hanging a goat's head and selling dog meat is to avoid inspection and handling by the authorities. Photo: Quang An

Inside the shabby rented rooms there is only a single bed, and no other furniture. This has been considered a cheap paradise for many years. Photo: Quang An

After being eradicated, a series of kiosks at Hon Cau were closed. According to statistics, the entire Hon Cau tourist site has 140 kiosks with business registrations for food and beverage items, but in reality they are places for prostitution. Photo: Quang An

Ms. Le Thi Man, Hamlet 3, Dien Hai Commune, who lives next to the Hon Cau prostitution spot, excitedly said: "Since the authorities started to eradicate it, we are very happy because this prostitution situation has persisted for many years, causing bad public opinion. Sometimes when we go out, we do not dare to introduce ourselves as Hon Cau people, not to mention that when our children grow up, they often easily fall into social evils because it is right in front of our eyes.
