People in Ho Chi Minh City are busy bringing the spirit of spring home on New Year's Eve of the Year of the Horse 2026.

On New Year's Eve, along many streets in Ho Chi Minh City, people are busy returning home after a day of year-end shopping. On their motorbikes, pots of apricot blossoms, chrysanthemums, and bags of Tet gifts are neatly tied, following the rhythm of people hurrying home to celebrate the New Year.

On the last day of the Year of the Snake (2015), after days of continuous work and trading, workers hurried to the market to shop for their families. From fresh flowers and decorations to food supplies for the Tet holiday, everyone was busy shopping to complete their preparations before the New Year's Eve transition into the Year of the Horse (2026).

At the same time, delivery drivers are also making their final trips to deliver packages to customers on time. The festive atmosphere remains lively. In markets and flower-lined streets, crowds of people are moving about, carrying flower pots, decorations, food, and other goods, creating the characteristic hustle and bustle of the last days of the year.
