(Baonghe an.vn) - Different from the usual hustle and bustle, on the first day of the new year, Vinh city seemed quiet, with a certain mood. On the first day of the new year, Vinh welcomed Spring with bright sunshine.

It seemed that all the daily worries and thoughts of making a living had temporarily subsided, leaving only a peaceful city. Vinh suddenly quietly contemplated the deep consciousness of a city over 200 years old. Then, Vinh prepared for the next 364 days with many plans and wishes.
