Since the beginning of the year, many parts of Vietnam’s beautiful landscapes have attracted local visitors including Yen Tu, the Perfume Pagoda, Hung Temple, Duc Thanh Tran Festival, Ba Chua Kho Temple, and some pagodas and temples in Hanoi.

Representatives from Hanoi-based tour companies said despite a 20 percent increase in ticket price for these tours, the number of registered tourists continues to grow by up to 15 percent in some cases compared to the same period last year. In recent years, these tours have attracted the participation of not only women and old people but also young people and entrepreneurs. Many people said they want to go to pagoda to take part in traditional festivals and pray for blessings on the occasion of the New Year. This is a new way for them to relax, giving fresh impetus to grasping new opportunities in the New Year.
