(Baonghean.vn) – Relocated from the Ban Ve hydroelectric reservoir area to Thanh Chuong since 2007, most of the resettled people in Thanh Son and Ngoc Lam communes have settled down and are making a living in their new villages. The end of the year is also a time for everyone to reunite and busily prepare for Tet (Lunar New Year).

| On the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, the small alleys leading into the resettlement villages were decorated with flags to welcome the Spring. |

| Mr. Lu Van Giao, head of Xop Lam village (Thanh Son commune), said that although they have been celebrating Tet in their new village for nearly 10 years, everyone is still very excited and wants to decorate the village beautifully to celebrate the Spring Festival. |
