During the four-day national day holiday, 204 traffic accidents occurred nationwide, resulting in 116 deaths and 128 injuries. All three figures are lower compared to the same period last year.
Familiar streets awash in national flags and people in star-spangled attire offered international visitors a unique and striking impression of Hanoi during the 2/9 holiday.
Many people are paying from tens to hundreds of thousands of VND for reserved spots in private homes or restaurants with good views to watch the rehearsals and National Day parade.
