The streets of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are sparse, people leisurely exercise, ride bicycles and motorbikes in groups… in the morning of the 1st of Tet.

On the morning of the 1st, the streets of Hanoi were quieter than usual. At 7am, the ring road 2 Truong Chinh – Nga Tu So is dotted with cars. Every day, this is a route that is always congested with rush hour traffic.

Cong Duc alley is located in the old quarter of Hanoi, which stands out with the red flag and yellow star. Unlike other years, this year’s Tet holiday, Hanoi streets are not decorated with many banners and banners, and there are no streets filled with flowers.

From early morning, many people come to Ta Hien old town to take souvenir photos.

In the weather of 12 degrees Celsius, clubs and groups play bicycles, motorbikes, antique cars and meet to chat and walk around the streets.

People stand in worship at the But Tower towards Ngoc Son Temple, next to Sword Lake.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were few cars on the Hanoi highway ( HCMC ). This is the arterial road at the eastern gateway of the city, so it is often congested at rush hour.
