I. What is Countdown?

To understand the meaning of the term Countdown, we need to analyze the meanings of the words 'Count' and 'down' in English. According to the English-Vietnamese dictionary, Count is understood as counting, and down means descending. Thus, Countdown or Countdown timer is simply understood as counting down time in seconds/minutes/days before a certain event.

In most countries around the world, including Vietnam, Countdown is used to announce countdown events welcoming the New Year on the night of December 31st.

At the New Year Countdown party, numerous music programs, cultural and artistic events, and dazzling fireworks displays are organized across provinces and cities. As the countdown clock ticks down (usually from 20s or 10s to 0s), the sacred moment of transition between the old and the new year officially takes place.

* In Hanoi

Similar to Ho Chi Minh City, Countdown 2022 in Hanoi will not feature fireworks and programs of music, culture, and art to welcome the new year. All activities at the Opera House and Ho Guom lake are suspended. Consequently, the Heineken® Countdown 2022 music extravaganza will not be held.
