On February 20th (4th day of Tet), thousands of workers used motorbikes to move back to Ho Chi Minh City.
Recorded at the Phu Cuong bridge area (crossing the Saigon River, connecting Binh My commune with Thu Dau Mot ward), thousands of workers from the Mekong Delta and Tay Ninh provinces lined up to return to Ho Chi Minh City after the 2026 Lunar New Year holiday.
Workers in the Mekong Delta provinces have used motorbikes to travel back to their hometowns and return to the northern area of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Binh Duong province). This means of transport, although hard to travel, helps workers be proactive in terms of time and save costs. Most workers have to travel a distance of 100-300km.
Meanwhile, on DT 741 road, My Phuoc Tan Van road, National Highway 13, there are also many workers from Dong Nai (former Binh Phuoc) and the Central Highlands provinces also riding motorbikes back to Ho Chi Minh City.
Workers carry luggage and children to overcome the heat to return to Ho Chi Minh City. According to records, this year's hot weather makes it very difficult for workers to move. Many people carrying young children have to cover themselves with thin blankets to reduce the heat.
According to records, this year, most businesses in Ho Chi Minh City have Tet holidays of 9-11 days. Many businesses will operate and workers will return to work from February 23rd and 24th (the 7th and 8th days of Tet).
