The first half of the first lunar month is not only a very good time to travel to Vietnam because of the beautiful spring season, there are also several New Year customs that further enrich the already interesting Vietnamese culture. The Vietnamese New Year, more known as Tet, is considered the most important and popular festival in Vietnam. There are several New Year customs such as “Xong Dat” – the „first visit to a land“, that shows one’s love for the earth or pilgrimages to famous temples and pagodas.

This year, on January 23rd, the Vietnamese people are welcoming the year of the Horse.
