Many central streets in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are quiet and peaceful. People wake up early to exercise, meet at the beginning of spring and take souvenir photos.
"My group and I made an appointment before Tet to wear ao dai and take photos in the old town, capturing the moments of the streets," said Ms. Vu Minh Thuy (far right), living in Ba Dinh district.
Ms. Nguyen Thu Ly (5th from left) in Ba Dinh district, met friends at Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square on the first day of spring. This place is always a familiar meeting place for groups on the morning of the first day of Tet.
In Ho Chi Minh City , Kenh Te Bridge, one of three main traffic routes from District 7 and Nha Be District to the city center, was deserted this morning, in contrast to the crowded, kilometer-long trafficjams that usually occur on weekdays.
At 8am, the lanes of Nguyen Huu Canh Street, Binh Thanh District, had little traffic, a stark contrast to the usual rush hour traffic. This route connects Thu Duc City, Binh Thanh District with the central area of Ho Chi Minh City.
At some famous landmarks of the city such as Ben Thanh Market, Notre Dame Cathedral (District 1), many people wearing Ao Dai and new clothes come to visit and take pictures. The streets are deserted, without the sound of car horns, creating a peaceful feeling for visitors to enjoy.
Renting a cyclo for 50,000 VND to take souvenir photos in front of the market, Ms. Thuy said she came from Da Lat to Ho Chi Minh City to celebrate Tet to change the atmosphere. "On the morning of the first day, I took photos and then went to the temple to pray for peace," she said.
After 8:30, Vo Van Kiet Avenue, below Calmette Bridge (District 1) is still empty of vehicles.
