Different from the quiet scene early in the morning on the first day of Tet, by noon the Hoan Kiem Lake area - one of the famous tourist attractions in Hanoi - was bustling with people.

The elderly and children in colorful new clothes walk together, enjoy the spring, and admire the brilliant flowers of the streets.

The street is sometimes congested with people from all over, the atmosphere is bustling.

Ms. Huyen (in Thanh Tri, Hanoi) and her parents, husband and young child walked around Hoan Kiem Lake, enjoying the gradually warming atmosphere of spring. Ms. Huyen shared that after visiting her grandparents' house to wish them a happy new year, the whole family went out to the city to enjoy spring.

"Coming up here, I feel the Tet atmosphere is better, everyone looks happy. There are also many photo corners around the lake so the whole family really likes it, being able to capture the moments of the new year," said Ms. Huyen.

Mr. Manh (from Ha Tinh ) shared that this was the first time he stayed in Hanoi to celebrate Tet with his family. After worshiping his ancestors, he and his wife took their young child to the city to play.

"On normal days, I rarely have time to take my family out to the city, so I took advantage of Tet to take my family out. I didn't think the city would be so crowded," said Mr. Manh.

Many families are from Hanoi, but for some reason, some families do not return to their hometowns to celebrate Tet but stay here. Around Hoan Kiem Lake, children play with peach blossoms, and families take photos together for the new year.

Everyone hopes for a joyful Tet holiday, and spring trips, whether near or far, are a beautiful moment in the beginning of the new year. It is also an opportunity for families to rest and have fun together after a year of work and prepare for a new year with peaceful wishes.
