Ocean City and the Oriental Light Festival become a new spring destination for thousands of tourists on the first day of the year. |
On the 4th day of Tet this year, instead of going to Hoan Kiem Lake, visiting Ngoc Son Temple, and then going to Tay Ho Palace, Thanh Van's family (42 years old, Hanoi) decided to go to Ocean City. The spring trip started with a leisurely VinBus trip from Hanoi Opera House to the East of the city.
Mr. Van shared that his family decided to go to Ocean City instead of the previous Spring travel destinations because the city is getting more and more crowded and lacking new entertainment facilities. Meanwhile, Ocean City is holding the Oriental Light Festival - the largest Spring festival in Vietnam with countless new and unique experiences.
“Before that, my family went to the Spring Super Fair to buy enough products for Tet. There were still many activities that we had not experienced yet, so we told each other that we would definitely come back during Tet,” said Mr. Van.

Like Mr. Van’s family, many tourists have come to take photos and shop at the Oriental Light Festival many times, right from when the Festival opened on January 18. But this time, everyone returned with a new look and attitude: wearing floral clothes, leaving behind the worries of the old year, looking forward to good things and peace.
Welcoming this huge influx of tourists, Ocean City offers a colorful cultural experience, including the Ocean International Lantern Festival, the Ocean Spring Fair, along with dozens of exciting activities recreating the atmosphere of Tet past and present.

Praying under the Phu Tang tree, many young people believe that they will have a new year with everything going their way. |
At the Oriental Light Festival, visitors cannot miss checking in at the elaborate lantern clusters, recreating many traditional Oriental cultural symbols and representing faith, hope and desire for a peaceful and lucky future.
If you want to pray for strength and success, you will have to visit “Long Mon Quan” - a majestic lantern cluster symbolizing the majestic Tran Dynasty dragon, and also associated with the legend of “carp jumping over the dragon gate”. To pray for good fortune and prosperity in your home, you just need to touch the Loc Thu lantern because according to legend, this action will help families with many children and grandchildren.
In particular, if you want to pray for prosperity and career development in the new year, you cannot miss making a wish under the Phù Tang tree. Because in literary and artistic works, Phù Tang often appears as a symbol of revival and positive energy.
Not only does it have spiritual value, at the beginning of the new year, visitors to the Oriental Light Festival also have the opportunity to receive rich fortune in the form of meaningful material gifts. That is the chance to draw to win a stylish VF 3 car, Vinmec Family package, Vinpearl vacation, SM Green gift card, FGF luxury car service...
