(Baonghean.vn) - The weather seemed to please people, on New Year's Eve of the Year of the Snake 2013, Vinh City had a cold and drizzly night. 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 and bustling activities welcoming the new year.

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 changed a lot. The economy is growing, and the spiritual life of the people is also being taken care of very well. 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. It was so touching and this will be a memory that I will never forget in my life”. After 11pm, spring was coming and the weather was getting cold, spring rain started to fall. It seemed that not many people present at Ho Chi Minh Square were concerned, they were lingering to wait for the sacred New Year's Eve moment in the sacred space under Uncle Ho's Statue with good wishes for a new year with new victories, new development path on the spring music.
