Meanwhile, n early 4,500 people chose Dong Van karst plateau in the northern mountainous province of Ha Giang as the place to enjoy their holiday. It was recognised as a member of the Global Network of National Geoparks in 2010.
Tens of thousands of people also flocked to Tran Temple in northern Nam Dinh province to pray for health, wealth and luck for themselves and their relatives.
