A New Year's Eve moment in Hoi An
(QNO) - The moment of New Year's Eve always stirs up an indescribable sense of nostalgia for many people, and it becomes even more profound for those who experience it in Hoi An ancient town, Quang Nam province.
Hoi An has recently been highlighted as an ideal place to experience New Year's Eve among Asia's top five destinations for Lunar New Year (Tết) travel.
In Hoi An, the nostalgic charm of Tết comes alive, especially with the traditional Bai Choi performances near An Hoi Bridge, which is always attractive to locals and visitors alike.
UNESCO-recognised Bai Choi, a Tết traditional and cultural hallmark of Central Vietnam, fills Hoi An with lively tunes and laughter, reviving the charm of past Tết celebrations.
International travellers find the atmosphere of New Year's Eve in Hoi An truly wonderful. It is both lively and serene. They feel even more excited when they win a game of Bai Choi.
On the Hoai river, coloured lanterns and floating candles create a mesmerising scene while familiar spring melodies drifting from ancient houses stir both joy and deep nostalgia.
Perhaps this is why Hoi An is called a “timeless destination where time stands still.” As midnight nears, glasses clink, and the scent of Tết fills the air.
At this moment, all worries fade as everyone embraces the hope for happiness and peace.
