Mr. Nguyen Dinh Luan, living in Ho Chi Minh City, said: "My family has lived in Saigon for many years, so we don't go back to our hometown every year to celebrate Tet. Every time we go back, my family prepares a lot of things and Tet gifts to bring with us. Even though we booked tickets in advance, he and everyone else still had a hard time and were tired from the train journey to the South. Photo: Lam Tung
