Warm sunshine, Hoan Kiem Lake crowded with people on the afternoon of the 3rd day of Tet

TPO - Contrary to long-term forecasts, during the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin this year, the weather in Hanoi on the 3rd and 4th of the lunar calendar was bright and sunny. Thousands of people in the capital took advantage of the spring to visit the Hoan Kiem Lake area, enjoying the beautiful sunny weather.

From around noon on the third day of Tet (February 12), when many families had completed their ancestral worship ceremony (burning votive paper), crowds of people flocked to Hoan Kiem Lake to enjoy the spring .

The area opposite Hanoi Post Office is packed with people.

For many families, this time of year is when all the procedures for Tet are complete, and the whole family can enjoy spring together.

Mr. Toan and Ms. Ha (Hang Bong - Hanoi) shared: 'Every afternoon on the 3rd day after the paper burning ceremony, my family goes on a spring outing. Some years we go to West Lake, some years we go to the Temple of Literature. This year, the whole family likes to walk, so Hoan Kiem Lake is the most ideal place.'

Taking advantage of the beautiful weather and golden sunshine, many people took photos to commemorate the moment of welcoming the new year.

Young people check-in to show off their Tet lucky money.

Some unique stalls on the sidewalk space also bring a very unique color, attracting tourists.

The candy stall attracts the curiosity and interest of children.

Spring is joyful in the eyes and smiles of children.

Around 3pm, people from everywhere poured in, making the space even more crowded and bustling.

This year, there are not as many spring portrait easels as in previous years, but they still attract a large number of people.

Ngoc Son Temple area was packed with visitors and locals going to worship on the afternoon of the 3rd day of Tet.

Not only Hanoians, a family from Hung Yen said: 'Our whole family, grandparents, parents, and small families have a tradition of going to Ngoc Son Temple to worship at the beginning of the year for decades. When it was close to Tet, there was a forecast of rain, so the family was quite worried, but in fact the weather today is really nice and favorable. We hope for a favorable and peaceful new year'.

Thousands of tourists rest in many other areas along the lake shore.

According to the reporter's observation, most of the parking lots around the lake are full. The authorities are always present to remind visitors. The parking fee has not fluctuated to "rip off" tourists on the first day of spring.
