Casting off the stuffy, crowded and noisy atmosphere seen during normal days, Hanoi turns into a silent place with nearly deserted streets during Tet.
With a population of nearly seven million people, many of whom are immigrants, Hanoi has become a bustling, crowded metropolis.
Now, when Tet has come, many of the immigrants return to their hometowns, leaving mostly native Hanoians, vaguely harkening back to a quieter time, especially on the first day of the lunar new year.
