At 8:00 pm, the number of people from many places started to arrive, causing many roads around this area, such as Le Duan, Le Thanh Ton, Dong Khoi, Pasteur (District 1) to get stuck.

Taking the whole family to welcome New Year’s Eve, Mr. NHAnh (38 years old) said cheerfully: “My family and I came here to play for a while and then we came back because I have young children so I don’t I dared to stay until the night. Although it is still early, there are also many people gathered, still in the epidemic stage, so I believe that everyone should consciously wear a mask to ensure public health safety ”.

As the PV noted, the darker the night, the more people flock to the Ly Tu Trong – Dong Khoi intersection (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City), making travel difficult.

It wasn’t until 8:00 pm, but the road before Vincom Dong Khoi was full of people passing by. Most of them complied with the regulations on the use of masks in the complicated situation of the Covid-19 epidemic.

Friend Thu (14 years old, living in Binh Tan district) was heading to the pedestrian street that Nguyen Hue shared: “I see the atmosphere here is very lively, traffic jams at intersections. We were walking because we wanted to go home faster. In the new year, our common wish is for the epidemic to pass quickly so that everyone’s life can be stable again ”.

Mr. Sang (50 years old, resident of District 12), although his leg was injured, he and his wife headed downtown to wait for the time of the new year. “The situation of epidemic diseases in the world is not yet positive. People still have a very good sense of prevention. So my wife and I have a lot of confidence and security in participating in such crowded community activities. “

As PV pointed out YouthIt was only 6 o’clock, but in the Thu Thiem area (District 2, Ho Chi Minh City) many people showed up very early to “allow themselves” to have a good place to see the fireworks. Roadside stalls quickly arranged seating to receive guests.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Van (20 years old) said that she and her group of friends from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City to celebrate the New Year. “The reason I chose Thu Thiem is because this place is airy and the air is fresh, not too crowded like the downtown areas. We were there early because we wanted to enjoy the Saigon atmosphere and look forward to the new year together. I hope this new year will have a lover soon but I have been inactive for a long time, ”said Van with a laugh.

In the area of ​​the embankment (District 2) at the foot of the Saigon Bridge is also the place chosen by many people to welcome the New Year. Just at 7:00 p.m., many people were present at the riverside restaurants to receive friends and family to welcome the transition between the old year and the new year.

“For many years, I kept choosing this place to welcome the new year, watching the fireworks even though my home was in District 12. I came here because I like to take pictures, but the angle here is very nice. I want to save moments like this in the new year, both for memories and to wish a year of peace, happiness and success in the photography that I pursue, ”Mr. Nguyen Hoai Nam (24 years old, District 12) said.
