Tourists to some national monuments have increased sharply.

On the morning of the third day of Tet, the weather was cold and windy, but in the afternoon and evening, the weather gradually warmed up and became sunny, making it convenient for people and tourists to visit, sightsee and go to the first festival of spring.

Although the number of tourists flocking to the relic sites was very large, traffic remained smooth, without congestion, collisions or traffic accidents. When asked, tourists were happy and confident in a prosperous new year, with the economy and society recovering after a long period of being severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
