Vietnamese New Year, known as Tết, is the most important celebration in Vietnam. It marks the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new lunar year. Families come together to honor their ancestors, prepare special foods, and decorate their homes with peach blossoms and kumquat trees. The holiday is filled with joy, as people exchange gifts and well-wishes for health and prosperity.
During Tết, traditional dishes like bánh chưng and bánh tét are enjoyed, symbolizing the earth and sky. Festivities include lion dances, fireworks, and visiting friends and family. This vibrant celebration reflects the rich culture and deep-rooted traditions of the Vietnamese people.
