On the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, many of Da Nang’s residents poured into local entertainment venues, including the 29 March Park, to enjoy cheerful atmosphere in the city at the Tet Festival. In addition, the city’s pagodas were filled with people who wanted to pray for good luck, health, peace and prosperity through the year.
DA NANG Today would like to share with our readers some photos, taken by reporters Minh Tri and Hoang Hiep, which reflect the atmosphere in the city over Tet.
