[CLIP]: Early morning of the first day of Tet: Central streets of Ho Chi Minh City are deserted.
Traveling early in the morning from Gia Dinh ward to the city center of Ho Chi Minh City to celebrate the Lunar New Year and take photos with her family, Ms. Thao Nguyen (37 years old) said that the streets were deserted. "Yesterday, many people watched fireworks late at night, and this morning I don't have to go to school or work; everyone is going back to their hometowns to celebrate Tet, so the streets are very empty. This is a unique feature of Ho Chi Minh City during Tet that isn't always available, so I'm just enjoying it," she shared.
