SamBow Vietnamese Tet holiday

Tết, or Lunar New Year, is the biggest and most significant holiday in Vietnam, marking the beginning of the lunar calendar year. The festive atmosphere spreads throughout the country, filled with joy, excitement, and vibrant colors.

In the lead-up to Tết, people prepare by cleaning and decorating their homes, shopping for traditional foods, and buying gifts. During the holiday, families and friends gather to enjoy special dishes like bánh chưng, bánh tét, pickled onions, and sweet candied fruits. Many people wear traditional áo dài, visit temples to pray for good luck, and participate in cultural activities such as lion dances, folk singing, and Tết markets.

Tết is a time not only for rest and relaxation but also for honoring ancestors, strengthening family bonds, and exchanging well-wishes for a prosperous and healthy new year
