Vieng Market is held only once a year on the night of the 7th and early morning of the 8th of the first lunar month. This is a market that carries the cultural identity of the people of Nam Dinh and neighboring areas.

From 5 p.m., many people and tourists flocked to Vieng market (Nam Truc district, Nam Dinh) to enjoy spring, "buy luck, sell bad luck" and go to the temple.

Traffic police are on duty on main roads to regulate traffic and guide people moving around the Vieng market area.

The road to the market is crowded with people walking around, sightseeing and shopping.

Along both sides of the road to the market, shops have set up early sales with typical goods.

Agricultural tools associated with the fields such as baskets, winnowing baskets, and crates... are sold everywhere in the market.

Agricultural tools are very familiar to people in their daily lives. However, they believe that if they can buy them at this market, which is held only once a year, it will bring them good luck.

People come here to buy ornamental plants with the thought of "buying for luck" to attract wealth and prosperity for themselves and their families in the first days of the new year.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Long (Hai Hau district, Nam Dinh) took the opportunity to buy a Barringtonia acutangula tree for his family. He said: "I went to the market in the afternoon, taking advantage of the fact that the market was not crowded yet, so I had time to choose the tree that I liked best."

As the evening wore on, more and more people flocked to Vieng market.

Vieng Market is busiest from 0:00 on the 8th day of Tet, because ancient people believed that buying and selling at that time brings the most luck.
