And as the time of transition from Winter to Spring, from the old year to the new year approached, the weather was no longer rainy. People went out to the streets to join in the joyful, bustling New Year's Eve activities.

At 8:00 p.m., on many main streets of Vinh city such as Phan Dinh Phung, Tran Phu, Nguyen Phong Sac, Truong Thi, Nguyen Du..., the sound of festival drums resounded with lion dance troupes marching to Ho Chi Minh Square to join in the activities of "New Year's Eve Festival 2013". This is also the destination of many people in Vinh city and neighboring areas in their journey to welcome New Year's Eve in recent years. At 9:30 p.m., Ho Chi Minh Square was filled with spring colors with all kinds of blooming flowers, festival drums, lion dances; martial arts performances, dances; songs such as "Tender Spring", "Spring Love Song", "Ageless Spring"... in the special art program with the theme: "New Year's Eve Festival" performed by professional and non-professional art troupes in Vinh city.

Everyone present at the Square was excited, eager, and thrilled at the sacred moment of welcoming the New Year under the Uncle Ho Monument in the heroic Red City and wished for a better year of the Snake. Mr. Nguyen Van Canh, after many years away from his homeland, was very moved when he was present at the Square tonight and said: “My homeland has really had many changes. The economy has improved, and the spiritual life of the people has been well taken care of. The exciting activities on New Year's Eve are a proof of that. As for Mr. ChritTopfer, a Frenchman also present at the Square on New Year's Eve, he shared: “The atmosphere welcoming the Lunar New Year in Vinh city is not much different from the atmosphere welcoming Christmas and New Year in my country.
