After many days of wet and cold weather, Da Nang’s weather has warmed up.  Thanks to this favourable condition, a large number of local residents have poured into streets to go sightseeing and enjoy cheerful atmosphere in the city in the build up to the Tet Festival.

Here are nice photos, taken by some reporters from the DA NANG Newspaper, which reflect the joyful and boisterous festive atmosphere at some popular public areas.
