Young people in Ho Chi Minh City are 'hunting' for... cold weather.

During the rare cool weather at the beginning of the year, Ho Chi Minh City takes on a different appearance. From parks and cafes to central streets, locals and young people take advantage of the opportunity to go out, stroll around, and take photos in their own unique ways.

The blue sky and gentle sunshine in front of Ben Thanh Market during this rare cool weather in Ho Chi Minh City created ideal conditions for people to stroll, take photos, and enjoy the outdoors.

Early this morning, Ho Chi Minh City experienced a rare cool spell , with temperatures dropping noticeably compared to previous days. The cold didn't slow down the pace of life; on the contrary, it created a pleasant atmosphere, prompting many people to take advantage of the opportunity to go outside and enjoy it.

In parks and city centers , people start their day earlier than usual. Many elderly people go for walks and practice Tai Chi in the cool weather, while families take their young children for strolls and breathe in the fresh air.

Sidewalk cafes and breakfast eateries are busier than ever, as people enjoy sitting outdoors, sipping a hot cup of coffee or a steaming bowl of noodle soup.

Young people are also taking advantage of the "unusual" weather to experience activities that are both familiar and new. Along the central streets, many groups of friends wear light jackets and scarves, taking photos and videos, capturing the rare moments of a cool Saigon.

Some chose to cycle or jog along the river in the morning; others met for coffee, staying longer than usual because the oppressive heat had subsided.

In markets and at food stalls, vendors report a slight increase in purchasing power, especially for hot dishes and warm drinks. The familiar rhythm of daily life continues, but with an added touch of pleasantness.

The brief cold spell not only brought a refreshing feeling but also allowed many people to slow down a bit amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. In this rare coolness, Ho Chi Minh City appeared more approachable, as each person found their own way to enjoy the rhythm of daily life.
