Ben Thanh Market, the Independence Palace, and Ong Ba Chieu Mausoleum are among the top spots where thousands of locals flock to capture festive photos.
Ho Chi Minh City residents capture New Year's memories in traditional attire.
In recent years, taking New Year's photos in the graceful ao dai has become a popular trend. Ho Chi Minh City provides the perfect backdrop for showcasing the beauty of Vietnam's traditional dress, preserving these cultural moments. Additionally, the city's dry weather makes it ideal for photoshoots during this time of year.
The most popular locations for ao dai photos are Ben Thanh Market, the Independence Palace, and the Central Post Office... In front of Ben Thanh Market, hundreds of young people dressed in vibrant ao dai take advantage of the opportunity to capture their New Year's memories. Many even hire professional teams, rent costumes, and learn posing techniques from experts.
The solemn and historic atmosphere of the Ong Ba Chieu Mausoleum also draws many young people in Ho Chi Minh City for New Year's photoshoots. The mausoleum is the final resting place of Le Van Duyet, a former governor of Gia Dinh during the Nguyen Dynasty. This 18,500m2 site, located next to Ba Chieu Market in Binh Thanh District, offers a perfect blend of history and traditional beauty, making it a stunning spot for festive photos.
Many young people also gather around the Turtle Lake area (District 3) to take New Year's photos. However, the narrow paths in this area and the large crowds make it difficult to capture the perfect shot.
