"Known as
Tet in Vietnam, Lunar New Year is the most important holiday in the country.
Dodging motorcyclists while visiting a local flower market is part of the fun
of celebrating the festival in Hanoi,” a CNN article wrote.
It
explained that one essential must-have for Vietnam's Lunar New Year is a
bunch of flowers, with Hanoi's Quang Ba flower market working at a frenetic
pace during the festival.
"Shoppers
seek out the most eye-catching bouquets (usually peach blossom or ochna
integerrima, the bright yellow blossom favored during Tet) amid the whirr and
screech of the city's ubiquitous motorcycles, all transporting bright bunches
of flowers on their pillions,” it added.
The sights
and sounds mixed with the fragrance of street food makes for a heady New Year
sensual overload, the article noted.
The article
cited other destinations to commemorate the Lunar New Year, including China’s
Nuanquan town in Hebei province, Ditan Park in Beijing, Sha Tin racecourse in
Hong Kong (China), Raohe night market in Taiwan (China), and Studio City in
Macau (China).
Also
mentioned were Los Glaciares in Argentina, central London in the UK,
Gyeongbokgung Palace in the Republic of Korea, Disney California Adventure
Park and China town in the US’ San Francisco, Australia’s Sydney city, and
Allas Sea Pool in Finland.
