New Year's Day 2025 is January 1, 2025, on Wednesday (December 2, 2024 lunar calendar).
Because New Year 2025 falls on a weekday, workers and students will not be given compensatory days off or swapped days off. However, there are still many suggestions for places to have fun during the day for tourists from North to South.
In Hanoi, tourists can visit a series of relics imbued with the historical and cultural beauty of Hanoi such as the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Hoan Kiem Lake...
Places located in the suburbs that can be visited in a day such as Ba Vi, Duong Lam ancient village, Bat Trang pottery village... are also reasonable choices for the whole family.
In addition, Tam Dao (Vinh Phuc), Cat Ba (Hai Phong) and Ninh Binh are places near Hanoi. It only takes about 1.5 - 2 hours by car for tourists to reach these places, suitable for a one-day holiday.
In the Central region, tourists have more options because the tourist attractions are quite close to each other. In Da Nang, tourists can relax on My Khe beach, explore the Golden Bridge - Ba Na Hills or visit Ngu Hanh Son mountain.
Tourist cities such as Hue, Quy Nhon, Dong Hoi... all have many tourist attractions as well as entertainment events serving residents and visitors during the New Year holiday.
In the South, tourists in the Ho Chi Minh City area can refer to places such as Can Gio, Tan Lap Floating Village (Long An) or Buu Long Tourist Area (Dong Nai) - a place known as "miniature Ha Long Bay". These places are only 1.5 - 2 hours away and can be visited in a day.
If you have more time, Ho Tram - Ho Coc (Ba Ria - Vung Tau), Giang Dien Waterfall (Dong Nai) or Ba Den Mountain (Tay Ninh)... are also suitable tourist destinations for a 1-day, 1-night trip.
