Motorcyclists in Hanoi take to the streets to gather to welcome the Year of the Dragon.

As usual, Hanoi motorcyclists gathered together on the third day of the Lunar New Year (February 12) to meet, exchange and "check-in" to welcome spring. It is known that this is the 6th year this event has taken place, the first time was on the Lunar New Year 2018.

The gathering on the third day of Tet still took place at the familiar location, the Hanoi Opera House (Photo: Nguyen Lam).

The event was well attended by many "bikers" regardless of vehicle type, all took to the streets with the purpose of meeting and exchanging to start the new year (Photo: Nguyen Lam).

Mr. Dat, a motorcyclist in Tay Ho district, said: "Every year I participate. At exactly 9am on the 3rd day of Tet, I proactively go to the Opera House without having to make an appointment with anyone. Everyone shares the same passion, so it's easy to start a conversation. At first, we were strangers, but later we became friends" (Photo: Nguyen Lam).

This year’s event took place in the bustling atmosphere of the Capital on a larger scale than last year. According to the reporter’s estimate, there were about 80 cars attending (Photo: Nguyen Lam).

Not only motorcyclists, Vespa user groups also participate in this annual gathering (Photo: Nguyen Lam).

A 2013 Moto Guzzi Nevada 750 Classic was present at the event. The owner said there were exactly 2 in Hanoi (Photo: Nguyen Lam).

One player even brought a Cadillac Limousine but for "check-in" and not to move with the group (Photo: Nguyen Lam).

After gathering, the "bikers" paraded through main streets such as Trang Tien, Ba Trieu, Hue Street... (Photo: Nguyen Lam).

According to the reporter's records, most "bikers" obeyed traffic laws. However, the density of vehicles and people on the main streets was higher than last year, so there were some dangers when the motorcycle parade took place (Photo: Nguyen Lam).
