Under the sun of the last day of April, Ms. Le Dinh Phuong Uyen (27 years old, teacher at Thoi Thanh Secondary & High School, Can Tho City), smiled brightly when recording beautiful moments with her family. For Ms. Uyen, this holiday is an opportunity for her to spend all her time with loved ones.
The place that Ms. Uyen chose is Tan Hue Vien area (An Ninh commune), a famous tourist destination not far from Can Tho. Thanks to that, the trip is not fussy in terms of preparation, very easy to move and saves time.
Usually everyone is busy with their own work, rarely does the whole family have the opportunity to relax together like this. Here, my family visits, enjoys local specialties and takes many photos" - Ms. Uyen recounted.
For Ms. Uyen, this trip is like a connecting thread. In a peaceful space, stories about work, about life or even personal emotions that were previously obscured by the hurried pace of life are now evoked and shared.
What I cherish most is not the beautiful scenery, but the times when the whole family sits down together, confides and listens to each other. Sometimes, happiness is simply seeing parents smile brightly and having enough time to listen to the thoughts of loved ones" - Ms. Uyen added.
As for Mr. Than Thanh Luan (freelancer, Can Tho City), each long trip is a whole effort and saving. From many months ago, Mr. Luan began to accumulate small amounts of money with the goal of taking his family to sea.
This April 30th holiday, that dream has come true. Standing in front of the vast blue sea, inhaling the salty taste of the wind, Mr. Luan felt that all the fatigue of the days of struggling to make a living seemed to disappear.
Income is not fixed, so I have to calculate carefully. Fortunately, this trip was quite favorable, the food was delicious and the prices were very affordable, without being overcharged" - Mr. Luan confided.
According to Mr. Luan, taking his family on a trip is not only for sightseeing, but also a way for him to compensate for the worries his mother has taken on. The green space of the sea helps his mother improve her health and he himself regenerates energy to continue working as soon as he returns to Can Tho.
According to estimates, on the last day of the holiday, both Ms. Uyen and Mr. Luan's family will no longer go out. Instead, they go to the market together, go to the kitchen to cook their favorite dishes at home, imbued with the Mekong Delta flavor.
A warm, simple family meal but full of laughter will perfectly end this year's holiday" - Mr. Luan added.
It can be seen that the travel trend of workers today is shifting. Instead of chasing after flashy but crowded "check-in" destinations, they focus more on the quality of experience and emotions of their companions, saving money.
