TPO - Near Lunar New Year, hundreds of people flocked to Ben Thanh market and many famous tourist destinations in Ho Chi Minh City to take pictures.

HCM City people dress up in traditional long dresses to take spring photos">Ben Thanh Market is a "hot" place to take Tet photos in HCM City. In flowing traditional long dresses, many young people transform into "Miss Saigon" to take to the streets in the days leading up to Lunar New Year.

Lan Anh (a first-year student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Transport) said that she and her group of friends woke up at dawn to prepare their clothes and move to Ben Thanh market. "Although I have passed by here many times, this is the first time I have visited and taken photos. I did not expect so many people to come and take photos. The atmosphere was bustling and joyful like the first day of Tet," Lan Anh said.

The most “money-making” photo angle in this area is to see the clock tower at Ben Thanh Market. In addition, the road in front of the market, behind which is a row of bright yellow apricot trees, is also very popular with many young people.

Many people are willing to spend money to rent a cyclo as a backdrop for taking pictures, conveniently visiting the city.

Many photographers work at full capacity, continuously taking pictures and instructing models to pose.

The area in front of Ben Thanh market is fenced off, creating a comfortable space for visitors to take pictures safely, without fear of vehicles moving and causing collisions.

Although there are many people coming here, the space is not too cramped, young people can still easily get a satisfactory photo.

Although not as brilliant as during Tet, the simplicity of the ancient architecture at the market becomes a beautiful backdrop.

Turtle Lake is also a place that attracts young people to check-in on this occasion. With the typical nostalgic features of old Saigon, Turtle Lake is chosen by many girls for a classic-style photo album.

Not only traditional ao dai, many modernized ao dai designs are also chosen by young people for their Tet photo albums.

Couples also take advantage of this occasion to wear Ao Dai to take photos. With the advantage of a cool, peaceful space and lots of trees, Turtle Lake is very suitable for taking Tet photos.
