Hanoi, HCMC and Da Nang are preparing elaborate fireworks displays on Lunar New Year's Eve to welcome the Year of the Rat.
HCMC will display fireworks at seven locations on Lunar New Year's Day.
Fireworks will be displayed at high altitude at two downtown sites -- Thu Thiem in District 2 and Vinhomes Central Park in Binh Thanh District.
Low-altitude fireworks shows will take place at Dam Sen Park in District 11, History and Ethnic Culture Park in District 9, Ben Duoc Memorial Temple for Martyrs in Cu Chi District, Can Gio stadium in Can Gio District, and the administrative quarter of Nha Be District.
HCMC will organize seven fireworks displays at low and high altitudes to celebrate Tet
Hanoi will set off firecrackers at 30 venues to usher in Tet, or the Lunar New Year.
The six high-altitude venues are the Sword Lake in Hoan Kiem District, Lac Long Quan Flower Garden in Tay Ho District, My Dinh Stadium in Nam Tu Liem District, Thong Nhat Park in Hai Ba Trung District, Van Quan Lake in Ha Dong District, and Son Tay Ancient Citadel in the eponymous district.
The 24 low-altitude venues are Ngoc Khanh Lake in Ba Dinh District, Den Lu Lake in Hoang Mai District, Vincom Mega Mall in Long Bien District, Hoang Cau Lake in Dong Da District, Cau Giay Park in Cau Giay District, Nhan Chinh Lake in Thanh Xuan District, Pheo Lake in Bac Tu Liem District, an urban area in Gia Lam District's Trau Quy Town, Me Linh District People's Committee, Ba Vi District's Quang Oai Stadium, and Thanh Tri District's sports and culture center.

The central city of Da Nang had canceled fireworks displays for the Gregorian New Year, but plays them for Lunar New Year’s Eve at three shooting venues across the city: the Nguyen Van Troi Bridge between three districts - Hai Chau, Son Tra and Ngu Hanh Son, and the administration centers of Lien Chieu and Hoa Vang Districts.
The central city is already renowned for its annual international fireworks festival that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors.
Each fireworks display will last 15 minutes starting when the clock hits midnight on January 25, marking the beginning of the Lunar New Year.
Tet is Vietnam's biggest holiday and a major occasion for family reunions, with droves of migrant workers flocking home before Lunar New Year's Eve. The seven-day festival will start on Thursday.
