According to reporters' records, on the 3rd day of Binh Ngo Tet 2026, a large number of people came to Tran Temple (Nam Dinh ward, Ninh Binh province) to pray for peace and luck for the whole year. This is a familiar spring travel destination for the old people of Nam Dinh (now Ninh Binh province). Many families prepared offerings thoughtfully, from fresh flowers, fruits to cakes and candies, showing respect in the first days of the year.
Although crowded, people still lined up together, without any jostling or pushing, creating a spring beauty.
Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, Ms. Pham Thu Ha (Nam Dinh ward, Ninh Binh) said that every year she and her family come to Tran Temple as a habit at the beginning of the new spring. "This year, Tran Temple is like putting on a new coat. At the beginning of the new year, I always pray for national peace and prosperity, peace and luck for myself and my family," Ms. Ha said.
Although the number of people flocking to the temple is quite large, this year's organization is well implemented. The entrances and exits are clearly divided, functional forces are on duty to guide and remind people to maintain order. "I see that everyone who goes to the festival is very conscious, everyone is gentle and sincere. The atmosphere is crowded but not noisy or chaotic," said Mr. Nguyen Quang Hieu (Nam Dinh ward, Ninh Binh province).
Besides offering incense, many people and tourists also take the opportunity to take souvenir photos at the temple grounds decorated with brilliant spring colors with flowers, miniatures and decorative clusters. The spring travel atmosphere is bustling but still maintains order and civilization.
Den Tran has long become a familiar spiritual destination every beginning of the year for local people and pilgrims. Going to spring festivals not only carries the meaning of praying for a favorable and smooth year but also contributes to preserving and spreading the good traditional cultural values of the nation.
