(Baonghean.vn) - Despite billions of dong in investment, Hung Dong market and Nghi Kim new market (Vinh city) have not attracted small traders to do business, causing waste for many years. Up to now, the kiosks have turned into rented rooms; the premises are now spontaneous duck-raising spots...
Clip: QAHung Dong Market is located in Hung Dong Commune (Vinh City), and was put into use in early 2018. The market was built with a total investment of 5.7 billion VND, on an area of 3,600 m2. However, business and trading here were only bustling in the first few months, then it became quiet and a series of traders left the market. Photo: QAThe market is designed to include a main hall and two rows of kiosks, along with full ancillary facilities. To date, most of the kiosks are "closed and locked". Photo: QAThe main area of the market has no business or trading activities, it is just a warehouse for small traders. Photo: QAIn the market area, between the main hall and the restroom, people have fenced off the area to raise ducks. Mr. Man, one of the few businesses in the market, said: In the first days of opening 5 years ago, people were very excited, many people spent hundreds of millions of dong to buy kiosks. Photo: QASome kiosks, due to lack of tenants, have now been turned into rented rooms for workers at nearby construction sites and factories. Because they were not originally built for residential purposes, tenants here have a rather inconvenient life, especially with regard to electricity, water, sanitation, etc. Photo: QANot far away, the new Nghi Kim market is in a similar situation. The market was built nearly 10 years ago, but according to locals, it has never had a market. Photo: QAThe market was built on an area of 1,200m2 with 2 floors, the kiosks have been closed and quiet for many years. Photo: QABecause it has never been used, the inside of the main market hall is still in its original condition. Photo: QAAround the market, many items have degraded: broken glass doors, rusty fire protection system, overgrown grass... Photo: QAIt is worth mentioning that in front of the market, people put up umbrellas and tarpaulins to do business, refusing to enter the market. Although the government has organized many meetings with traders and market investors to seek solutions, they have not yet found an effective solution. Photo: QA
