A bustling Hanoi has turned to a more peaceful and quieter scene on the first day of the Tet holiday, the country’s largest festive period in a year.

In the morning of the 1st day of the Lunar New Year, the normally crowded streets in downtown Hanoi are so quite with few motorbikes.

Local people enjoy a rare peaceful moment near Hoan Kiem Lake (Sword Lake).
