Since early this afternoon (December 31), VietNamNet reporters have recorded that the roads leading to the center of Ho Chi Minh City are always packed with vehicles such as Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, Cach Mang Thang Tam, Hai Ba Trung, Nguyen Tat Thanh, Tran Hung Dao...
Entertainment venues, shopping malls, and restaurants are also crowded. Parking lots in this area are also overloaded due to the number of people coming to play and the need to park their vehicles exceeding capacity.
As the evening wore on, the crowds of people continuously flocked to the city center, becoming more and more crowded. Nguyen Hue walking street, Bach Dang wharf park (District 1), and Saigon riverside park (Thu Duc City) were packed with people.
Ms. Lam Da Thao (from Kien Giang) said that the 2025 New Year holiday is only one day, so her family has no plans to return to her hometown or go far away.
“Tonight, Ho Chi Minh City has fireworks and special art programs, so my family went to the city center to have fun early,” said Ms. Thao.
Walking around town with his family, Mr. Nguyen Hoang (living in Phu Nhuan district) said that today the company let him off early on the last working day of the year, so he took the opportunity to take his wife and children to District 1 to have fun and watch fireworks.
“My advice is to go early to find a good spot to watch the fireworks, otherwise, if the area is closed to vehicles, you won’t be able to move. My kids are really excited to see the fireworks,” Mr. Hoang shared.
According to the plan, Ho Chi Minh City will shoot high-altitude fireworks at the starting point of the Saigon River Tunnel (Thu Duc City) from 0:00 a.m. on January 1, 2025 and last for 15 minutes.
