Visitors flock to central region during Tet
(VOV) -The number of travelers touring the beautiful historic relic sites of central provinces and cities has increased remarkably during the first days of the Lunar New Year (Tet) Festival.
The ancient city of Hoi An has welcomed about 4,000 domestic and foreign visitors since the beginning of the festival. The majority originate from Australia, China, the Republic of Korea, Japan, and European countries.
They have participated in various activities, including a lantern contest, performances of bai choi (the local 1,000 year-old folk music), and a fish worshipping festival.
Danang City’s Spring Flower Festival managed to attract 80,000 attendees.
The festival offered the chance to learn more about the traditional Tet through the model of a archetypal Vietnamese village compl ete with gates, bamboo trees, well, and communal house’s yard.
Tourists also took part in many folk games, enjoyed water puppet theatre performances, and received gifts from Phuc Loc Tho (the Three Lucky Gods of Happiness, Wealth, and Longevity).
About 4,000–5,000 visitors came to admire the Hue Imperial City’s ancient relics on each of the first few days of Tet.
