ANTD.VN - The Vietnamese people's Tet journey continues with experiences of Spring travel and praying for good luck throughout January. As a destination not to be missed on this journey, the Oriental Light Festival - the largest Spring Festival in Vietnam in Ocean City welcomes visitors with a series of new and exciting entertainment activities.
Starting point of the "party month"
“January is a month of fun and entertainment, but if you haven't been to Ocean City, it really isn't January,” Ha Thanh (24 years old, Hanoi) shared after half a day of exploring the biggest Spring Festival in Vietnam.
As the festival center of the North, Ocean City - East of Hanoi - is chosen by many tourists, especially young people like Ha Thanh, for their Spring trip to pray for good luck at the beginning of the year. According to Ha Thanh, unlike some Spring festivals that take place before Tet, which usually cool down after the end of the holiday, the Oriental Light Festival has stirred up the Destination City since the first days of Spring 2025 with a series of attractive activities lasting until March 16.
