This year’s holiday lasts five days, from April 30 to May 4. On the afternoon of April 29, the last working day before the holiday, many people took the opportunity to leave the city to return to their hometowns or go on vacation, causing traffic to increase on many routes. In the photo, the route leading to the southern gateway of the city was congested for a long time.

From above, one can see a line of cars stretching for kilometers at the southern gateway area.

At 4 p.m., the intersection leading to the Phap Van - Cau Gie highway began to get crowded.

People jostle on the street with lots of clutter.

Khuat Duy Tien Street also fell into a state of prolonged traffic congestion, making it very difficult for vehicles to move.

Traffic police were present early to regulate traffic and avoid local congestion. Photo taken at the intersection on Giai Phong Street.

Meanwhile, at major bus stations such as Giap Bat, My Dinh, and Nuoc Ngam, hundreds of people are waiting to catch buses to return home for the holidays.

Many people are tired...
