The northern central province of Ha Tinh authorities have approved a plan to relocate a large cemetery near the Thien Cam tourist site.
Thien Cam is the nicest beach in Ha Tinh, however, the six-hectare cemetery with around 3,600 tombs, stands just 500 metres away from the beach.
Phan Thuy Duong from Hanoi said that some years ago, she came to Thien Cam Beach and rented a hotel nearby. When she opened the window, she saw the large graveyard. This left a bad impression on her and since then she has not yet returned to the site.
Under the province’s approved plan, around VND26 billion (USD1,10 million) will be used to relocate the cemetery. The province is seeking an investor for the relocation. The graves will be moved to a new cemetery in Cam Duong Commune.
