In rural areas like Yen Thanh, Do Luong, Thanh Chuong, and Tan Ky districts, one or two days ago, people gathered large piles of firewood to prepare for bonfires on New Year's Eve, to ward off the cold. This is also an activity that helps strengthen community bonds.
Mr. Nguyen Ba Thao (Ma Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district) shared: “Every year, at midnight on New Year's Eve, people in the neighborhood gather at the intersection of three roads and neighborhood groups to light bonfires. Everyone huddles together, plays music, dances, and raises glasses of wine to celebrate and welcome a new year filled with good fortune, happiness, and success.”
People in Da Nang gather along the Han River.
Currently, the weather in Da Nang City is cool, and many people are dressing up in their best clothes and flocking to the spring flower decorations along the Han River to stroll around and take souvenir photos. Others are heading to cafes and restaurants to eat, meet friends, and chat about the end of the year and plans for the new year.
At the Dragon Bridge end on Bach Dang Street (Hai Chau District), the spring flower display also attracts many people to admire the scenery and take photos.
Ms. Phuong Dung (a resident of Hai Chau district) and her family arrived early at the flower street to celebrate New Year's Eve. Tonight, her family went out for dinner and planned to find a good spot to watch the fireworks.
"For the new year, I wish my family good health, smooth sailing in their work, and good luck," Ms. Dung shared.
The flower street area attracted many international tourists. Mr. Luu Minh (a tourist from Taiwan, China) said that Da Nang has a very beautiful snake mascot and decorations. His whole family took many photos during this trip.
This year, Da Nang is holding fireworks displays at three locations in Hai Chau and Lien Chieu districts and Hoa Vang district.
Earlier, Chairman of the Da Nang City People's Committee Le Trung Chinh visited and encouraged the forces on duty on New Year's Eve.
During a visit to the Da Nang City Police Command Information Center, the 911 force, and the 8394 force, the Chairman of Da Nang stated that the police force made a significant contribution to the city's socio-economic development last year. The city's police force successfully solved many major cases and implemented effective models.
"During the Lunar New Year of the Year of the Snake, the city will welcome a large number of tourists. The city police need to mobilize maximum forces to ensure the safety of residents and tourists celebrating the spring festival," Mr. Chinh suggested.
