Mr. Hoang Canh Phung (from Ho Chi Minh City) sat and rested in the backyard of Thai Hoa palace, and waited until 10 o'clock to see the royal games. Mr. Phung is a son-in-law of Hue land.

He said that, every time he came back to his wife’s family for Tet holiday, he would visit the Royal Palace. “Visiting the Royal Palace on this occasion, my whole family not only gets free entrance, but the children also have many games to play and many beautiful flowers to take pictures. This scene is not easy to have on a normal day,” said Mr. Phung.
