| At Long Bien Bridge, volunteer groups arrived early to assist people with releasing carp while protecting the environment. |
 |
| Volunteers set up plastic buckets at the bridge with long pulley ropes to help people release carp into the Red River. |
 |
| To avoid environmental pollution the fish were put into buckets, while the plastic bags were kept by those releasing the fish. |
 |
| The buckets containing fish were lowered close to the water’s surface using the pulley system. |
 |
| At an appropriate distance, the fish were safely released. |
 |
| Near West Lake, police and local authorities organised designated points to guide residents in releasing fish into large polystyrene containers, later collected and transported to the Red River for release. |
 |
| This is the second year this environmentally friendly fish release practice has been organised around West Lake. |
 |
| A resident releases fish into a container along West Lake. |
 |
| Besides goldfish, many people also released large carp, hoping for good fortune and peace. |
 |
| Once the containers are full, local police will assist in transporting them to the Red River for release. |
