According to some small traders at local markets such as Dong Ngo Quyen Market, Thanh Binh Market (Hai Duong City), and Ngoc Hoa Market in Vinh Hoa commune (Ninh Giang), the number of shoppers on the first day of the new year has increased sharply.

This year, since the New Year's Day holiday is only one day long, many people chose not to travel but instead opted for meals and celebrations with friends and family.

Prices of many items at local markets have increased slightly. Specifically, the price of some types of meat has increased by 5,000 - 10,000 VND/kg compared to normal days: beef from 280,000 - 330,000 VND/kg, pork belly 140,000 - 155,000 VND/kg, ready-to-eat free-range chicken 120,000 - 135,000 VND/kg, ready-to-eat duck 75,000 - 85,000 VND/kg.

Some vegetables also increased in price by 2,000 - 3,000 VND compared to normal days, such as cabbage and cauliflower from 12,000 - 18,000 VND/head, tomatoes from 16,000 - 20,000 VND/kg, zucchini from 20,000 - 24,000 VND/kg, chrysanthemum greens and celery from 5,000 - 10,000 VND/bunch…

The Saturday complex on the extended Tuệ Tĩnh street in Hải Dương city attracts many customers who come to enjoy drinks.

During this period, the number of customers visiting many eateries and restaurants in Hai Duong City has increased by 20-30%. Early in the morning, many breakfast places are crowded, with no seats available. Despite the large number of customers, most restaurants and eateries maintain stable prices.

Many young people took the opportunity to check in and capture the first photos of the new year.

According to the owners of several eateries and restaurants, the number of customers ordering takeout has also increased sharply by 40-50% compared to normal days.
