| In the Ga neighborhood on Truong Chinh Street, from the afternoon onwards, residents organize a New Year's Eve celebration at the entrance to the alley. Ms. Huong said that for the past 15 years, the entire neighborhood of 20 households has regularly held a year-end celebration. Although everyone is busy with work at the end of the year, they still make time to prepare for New Year's Eve together, considering it a "rule" of the neighborhood. |
 |
| Around 11:30 PM on the 30th, the men of the neighborhood perform a ritual of lighting incense and offering prayers before everyone sits down for a New Year's feast. The feast usually lasts until 2 or 3 in the morning before everyone cleans up and goes home. |
 |
| Many neighborhoods and alleys even prepare rice wine to serve on New Year's Eve, such as in alley 40 on Tran Binh Trong street... |
 |
| People in the alley and neighborhood celebrating New Year's Eve together is not only an opportunity for adults to reminisce about the year. |
 |
| ...but it's also an opportunity for children to play, dance to their heart's content, and experience the lively and joyful atmosphere of the transition between the old year and the new year. |
 |
| Mr. Dinh Phung Thang, residing in Block 14, Le Loi Ward, said that his neighborhood has only been organizing New Year's Eve celebrations together for the past few years. This is an opportunity for everyone in the neighborhood, young and old, to socialize more, and for everyone, especially the children, to feel the Tet atmosphere more deeply through shared activities. |
 |
| Joining the New Year's Eve celebration in the neighborhood, you can truly feel the atmosphere of Tet, a very warm, joyful, and heartfelt Tet. |
