Mr. Le Hung (40 years old, Cau Giay ward) said that the 4-day New Year holiday 2026 is favorable but comes quite suddenly.
Initially, the family including husband and wife and 2 young children planned to go to Da Nang when they had 4 days off, but then had to cancel after calculating the costs.
The total cost of round-trip air tickets for 4 people is up to 14 - 15 million VND, not including hotel, food and entertainment costs" - Mr. Hung said.
The family then decided to postpone the long trip, choosing Quang Ninh as a destination during the 2026 New Year holiday.
The travel time is just over 2 hours by car, which helps my family be proactive in terms of time and save costs. Quang Ninh also organizes New Year's Eve activities" - Mr. Hung shared.
Many families in Hanoi also prioritize choosing destinations with synchronous transportation infrastructure, diverse experiences from entertainment to resorts, especially organizing activities to welcome the new year.
Ms. Le Thi Ha's family (Dong Da ward, Hanoi) decided to choose Ninh Binh for the first trip of the year.
Not because this is a new destination, but because the family wants to see fireworks with their own eyes and welcome the New Year in the Ancient Capital of Hoa Lu," Ms. Ha shared.
Besides nearby tours, many people choose to welcome the New Year in Hanoi. Mr. Tran Dinh Bao (25 years old, Tu Liem ward) decided to stay in the city throughout the vacation.
The city in the last days of the year is very beautiful, decorated with flags and flowers. Coffee during the day, meeting and chatting with friends, and going to watch Countdown at Hoan Kiem Lake pedestrian street in the evening. Such a vacation is complete" - Mr. Bao said.
Mr. and Mrs. Le Van Manh (Ba Dinh ward) said that they will spend most of the Tet holiday taking their children to visit entertainment spots such as Thu Le Park, Vietnam Military History Museum...
Especially 2 children, 12 and 10 years old respectively, are very excited to watch the fireworks display to welcome the New Year in Hoan Kiem Lake pedestrian street.
In the remaining time, Mr. Manh's family will visit both paternal and maternal families in the suburbs of Hanoi.
During the 2026 New Year holiday, Hanoi is expected to arrange 5 areas with a total of 6 high-altitude fireworks display sites combining low altitude and fireworks. Fireworks display time is 15 minutes, from 11:45 PM on December 31, 2025 to 0:00 AM on January 1, 2026.
Fireworks display locations include: Two battlefields in Hoan Kiem ward, including the area in front of the Hanoi Moi Newspaper Headquarters; Thong Nhat Park coconut island; F1 race track; Lac Long Quan flower garden and Van Quan lake.
At the same time, Hanoi organizes the New Year 2026 (Countdown 2026) program with the theme "Real connection", taking place from 7:00 PM to 12:00 PM on December 31, 2025 at Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square and Hoan Kiem Lake pedestrian street space.
People and tourists who plan to see fireworks displays should pay attention to going early, setting up tables in cafes and restaurants with beautiful views. Choose suitable means of transportation and parking spaces to avoid traffic jams at fireworks display locations.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
