    In addition to the main activity, a fireworks display, many other recreational activities like music performance, lion and dragon dance, movie showings, etc. were organized for those who welcomed the New Year at the temple. On the first day of the first lunar month, at 12:00 a.m, fireworks clusters were fired into the sky, above the lake right in front of the temple, in an atmosphere filled with people’s joy and happiness to welcome a new year. In 2010, apart from the fireworks show at Tran Bien Temple of Literature, another one – as an occasion for people to welcome and enjoy a traditional Tet – was hosted in Xuan Loc district.

Fireworks display on New Year’s Eve

    On New Year’s Eve, a television bridge to connect many places was established by Dong Nai Radio and Television. The scenes in which  people across the province cheerfully welcomed the New Year were shot and transmitted via the bridge. Besides performing the ritual of burning incense to pray for a peaceful country and people’s stable settlement and to commemorate  predecessors and deceased martyr-heroes, Dong Nai leadership paid a visit to and gave wishes to agencies and organizations who were on duty on New Year’s Eve. Through the TV bridge, Chairman of Dong Nai People’s Committee, Vo Van Mot, wished all people in Dong Nai a new year with joy, security and happiness. Also, he hoped that all the Party, army and people would continue revolutionary traditions, overcome difficulties and complete 2010 targets and tasks successfully.
