On the morning of January 29 (the first day of the Lunar New Year 2025), spiritual places such as Linh Ung Pagoda, Quan The Am Pagoda, and Nam Son Pagoda welcomed crowds of people coming to offer incense and pray for a peaceful and lucky new year. The solemn and sacred atmosphere combined with the brilliant colors of apricot and peach blossoms created a beautiful spring picture.
According to Ms. Thanh Tam - a resident of Da Nang City, this year the weather is sunny so she and her family visited Quang Minh Pagoda (Lien Chieu District, Da Nang City) to pray for a smooth, peaceful and prosperous new year.
"On the first day of the year, my family often chooses spiritual destinations such as Nam Son Pagoda to burn incense and pray for good luck at the beginning of the year. This is my family's tradition," said Ms. Tam.
Not only at temples and pagodas, tourist attractions such as Bach Dang walking street, Dragon bridge, Han river bridge, and East Sea park also attract many tourists to visit and take pictures.
