(Baonghean.vn) - After the Tet holiday, the atmosphere in Vinh city has many contrasting shades. While the atmosphere in markets, bus stations, train stations... "heats up", on the other side, business and shopping centers, food courts, universities... are quiet, no longer the usual bustling atmosphere.
 |
| At Vinh market, trading activities are gradually "warming up". Essential goods are starting to be sold. |
 |
| In particular, to prepare for the Khai Ha ceremony on the 7th of January, fruits, betel nuts... are sold the most. |
 |
| Chrysanthemums are the top choice of many people. Currently, the price of chrysanthemums ranges from 5,000 - 7,000 VND/branch; in which cut diamond chrysanthemums have the highest price of 7,000 VND/branch. Sapphire chrysanthemums cost 5,000 VND/branch, green fringed chrysanthemums and mesh diamond chrysanthemums cost from 6,000 - 5,500 VND/branch. |
 |
| Besides flowers, prices of betel nuts, areca nuts, etc. also increased. On the afternoon of February 2 (January 6), they were 3,000 - 3,500 VND/areca nut, 2,000 VND/betel leaf. |
 |
| After the Tet holiday, traffic on main streets such as Le Hong Phong, Phan Boi Chau, Quang Trung, Nguyen Van Cu... has gradually become more bustling. In the photo is Ho Tung Mau street. |
 |
| On some routes passing through schools, offices... during rush hour, traffic is heavy. |
 |
| At bus stops, there are quite a lot of people needing to travel. |
 |
| Train stations, bus stations... have been much busier in the past 2 days. On average, there are nearly 20 trains stopping at Vinh Station every day. |
 |
| Due to the high volume of passengers and goods, service activities are also very urgent and bustling. |
 |
| The North-South train schedules are completely full. It is not difficult to see the scene of passengers rushing and jostling to catch their journey on time. |
 |
| In contrast to the bustling atmosphere at markets, shopping malls, train stations and bus stations, the business outlets on Quang Trung and Phan Boi Chau streets... are still not open. |
 |
| In the flower and ornamental plant selling areas - places that are extremely crowded before and during Tet - now become quiet and deserted with no one in sight. |
 |
| Because it's not the first day of school yet, Vinh University including the market, dormitories and surrounding streets become quieter as students have not yet entered school. |
