Ms. Thu Trang (in Y Yen commune, Ninh Binh province) shared: "I lined up for about 20 minutes before it was my turn to worship inside the forbidden palace. Although crowded, everyone was serious, without jostling.

To ensure safety for people and tourists from all directions when coming to Vieng market, functional forces are deployed at traffic junctions to divert traffic, guide people to park their vehicles, ensure traffic order and safety, and limit prolonged congestion.

It is known that this year Vieng Spring Market is officially elevated to a festival, lasting from the 6th to the 8th day of the first lunar month and will be held for the first time.
