Quang Ninh is the north-eastern province best known for Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the north's flagship destination. The 2025 administrative reform left it untouched — it kept its borders, with Ha Long as the centre.
The economy runs on two tracks: coal and industry in the east, tourism along the coast. For a buyer that means the housing market here is noticeably livelier than in neighbouring northern provinces, but almost entirely concentrated around the bay.
Virtually all new housing is built in Ha Long, along Cua Luc bay and on reclaimed sites such as Ha Long Marina — which is where our project in this province sits. East of the city, towards Van Don and Mong Cai, resort and border development continues, but that is a different market by nature: long distances and tourist seasonality.
Quang Ninh leads Vietnam for expressway mileage — around 176 km, of which more than 80 km are the Ha Long–Van Don and Van Don–Mong Cai sections. Van Don International Airport, the country's first privately built one, handles wide-body aircraft. In April 2026 construction started on the roughly 120 km Hanoi–Quang Ninh high-speed railway. The province is preparing to move up to centrally-run city status.
Ha Long has a pronounced season: domestic tourism peaks in summer, while northern winters are cold and damp and occupancy falls. Second, a large share of the coast is being developed as hotel-managed projects, where the ownership format differs from an ordinary apartment. And third, border and port areas may be closed to foreign ownership — that is checked project by project.
What is actually available to a foreigner is set out in our reference on ownership rights.
