Background
Not a traditional lunar festival, but HCMC, Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang and other cities light up for Christmas through New Year—masses, malls and fireworks.
Impact on travellers
Hotels and restaurants in hot cities spike in price. New Year’s Eve traffic jams. Great for city atmosphere—mind crowds and belongings. 1 Jan is also a public holiday.
