While the morning mist still lingers over the streets, Hue’s flower market is already awake before dawn. At the market along Ngo Kha Street in Phu Xuan Ward, near the wholesale market, warm yellow lights spill over bundles of flowers still in bud. The sharp revving of motorbikes, vendors calling out to one another, and brisk bargaining create a unique rhythm of the final days of the lunar year.

On the evening of March 23rd, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the “Lights Out” program took place to respond to the 2024 “Earth Hour” event. This year’s event was launched by the Ministry of Industry and Trade with the message “Save electricity - Make it a habit” to spread the spirit of joining hands to save energy and protect the environment to the entire community.
