Moments from the last day of the Year of the Rabbit 2023

NDO - With only a few hours left until the Lunar New Year of the Dragon 2024, most families have finished their preparations for New Year's Eve. On the last day of the lunar year, people are taking advantage of the opportunity to stroll through the streets and take photos. Flower and plant shops are also waiting for their last customers before closing for the day.

For the past month, the festive atmosphere of Tet has permeated every street in Hanoi , with people busily preparing and decorating for the holiday. But as the sacred moment approaches, the emotions become even more joyful than ever.

In Hanoi, the days leading up to Tet (Lunar New Year) bring periods of cold wind and light drizzle. While this can sometimes hinder people's travel, it's undeniable that this "sweet chill" truly makes the Tet atmosphere feel more distinct.

At this time of year, families have probably finished their preparations for Tet (Lunar New Year). Therefore, people are starting to spend time strolling through the streets, admiring the festive atmosphere in the capital. In particular, young people are taking advantage of the opportunity to take trendy photos in vibrant, colorful ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dresses).

This Lunar New Year season, the trend of taking photos in brightly colored ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) has been incredibly popular among young people everywhere. Throughout the last days of the year, and even as the new year approaches, this trend remains vibrant, adding to the lively atmosphere of Hanoi's streets. From Ta Hien Street in the Old Quarter, to the area around Hoan Kiem Lake in the city center, to West Lake, and even the Temple of Literature, colorful ao dai can be seen everywhere.

Foreign visitors also enjoyed the pleasant weather and the lively atmosphere as the Year of the Dragon was about to begin.

In the final days of the year, flower vendors also sell off their last batches of plants before packing up and ending the business season.

Many people also take advantage of the time to admire the trees and flowers, and choose more for their families.

This year, the single-branch plum blossom is receiving more attention than ever from bonsai enthusiasts due to its rarity, uniqueness, and symbolic meaning.

The single-branch plum blossom, with its gnarled trunk thickly covered in moss, symbolizes the image of a courageous gentleman. Its flowers, with their delicate fragrance and pure white color, are like a young maiden in her prime.

Shop owners shared that they predicted a slower market this year, so the supply of plants has decreased. However, the number of buyers and purchasing power have decreased even more, so this year's business season cannot be considered a "success."
