Despite cold and rainy weather, a large number of local residents and visitors poured into streets to ring in New Year 2020 last night.

Public entertainment areas, commercial centres and eateries across the city were crowded with people.

Below are some amazing photos, captured by our reporter Xuan Son, which depict the bustling New Year's Eve atmosphere across the city.

This year, the majority of locals and visitors gathered at shopping centres and public entertainment areas in the New Year’s Eve because the New Year Countdown Party was not organised as previous years.
