In the first days of the new year of At Ty 2025, Tay Ho Temple (Tay Ho, Hanoi) attracted a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to worship, pray for peace and fortune.
According to Lao Dong's records on the afternoon of February 5 (ie the 8th day of the first lunar month), although the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday has ended, on normal days the number of tourists coming to visit and worship at the Palace is still very large.
Streets leading to Tay Ho Palace such as Quang Khanh, Dang Thai Mai... are divided by authorities, there is no traffic congestion.
In the area surrounding the Palace, many shops selling offerings and food have been arranged and placed according to regulations so as not to hinder the flow of people coming to worship.
The stalls selling offerings are more abundant than usual, from candies, fruits, incense, votive paper money to oan cakes, xu xe cakes, peanut candy, roses...
Motorbike parking service is arranged right outside the Palace gate with a price of about 10,000 VND/turn, almost no different from normal days.
Tourists come to Tay Ho Temple not only to admire the unique architecture of the most famous spiritual work in the capital, but also to show their respect and pray for a peaceful and lucky new year.
Ms. Vu Thi Thuy Ly (Ha Dong) shared: “This is not the first time I have come to Tay Ho Temple. I often come here, especially during exams to pray for good luck.
This place is truly sacred and attracts a large number of tourists. What is special is that everyone is very sincere and actively preserves and promotes the good traditional cultural values of the nation."
Not only attracting local people, Tay Ho Palace is also an attractive destination for international tourists.
Dustin, a tourist from the US, expressed his special interest: “I was introduced to this sacred temple by friends while having a meal at a nearby restaurant. I learned that this place is a famous place to pray for wealth and fame. I was very impressed with the bustling atmosphere and the Vietnamese culture of going to temples at the beginning of the year.”
In the area next to the Government Palace, visitors from all over can contribute money to restore and embellish the relics in the meritorious area.
This is a highly community-based activity, helping to preserve and maintain the cultural and spiritual values of the relic. When contributing, visitors will receive a lighter as a symbol of luck in the new year.
