There's still about half a month until the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026, but the spring atmosphere has already permeated city life. The spirit of spring is clearly evident in the photo shoots of many generations wearing traditional Vietnamese ao dai dresses, as a way to celebrate the New Year early, gently, and with great anticipation.
