The Heneiken Countdown Party with special performances of leading artists, Vietnamese and international DJs will take place at Ly Thai To Square on Dinh Tien Hoang Street.

Most of the big hotels also have Countdown Parties to allow guests to welcome 2016 in style. While Sofitel Plaza's Summit Lounge will offer "Taittinger Nocturne City Lights Countdown Party", the JW Marriott Hanoi's Antidote Bar will feature some of Hanoi's best DJs. The Lotte Hotel Hanoi expects to create memorable moments for party-goers in the party located on its 63rd level.
