Hanoi to set off fireworks to welcome Tet

Hanoi will set off fireworks for 15 minutes (0-0.15 am) on February 3 (the first day of the New Year on lunar calendar) at 29 locations, a municipal official said.
Four locations for high-range displays include Hoan Kiem Lake (Hoan Kiem district) Dong Da Lake (Dong Da district), Thang Loi Hotel (Tay Ho district) and Van Quan Lake (Ha Dong district), said Do Dinh Hong, deputy chief of the Office of the Hanoi People’s Committee.
The other locations in the remaining 25 inner and outlying districts will be for low-range displays.
The People’s Committee assigned the capital’s High Command to join hands with the city’s police and concerned departments to organise the fireworks displays.
