This year, Lunar New Year (TET) Holiday lasts nine days, it presents the perfect opportunity for both foreign and domestic tourists to explore local heritage. In this article, we review significant destinations across Vietnam: Con Dao Island, Mekong Delta, Hoi An Ancient Town, Hue Old Capital, Duong Lam Ancient Village\u2026etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. C\u00f4n \u0110\u1ea3o Island<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Island in Ho Chi Minh City (Old Province: Ba Ria Vung Tau) tops the list as the first choice. While much of the country celebrates with fireworks, C\u00f4n \u0110\u1ea3o offers a unique experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On New Year\u2019s Eve, the island quiets down as locals gather at H\u00e0ng D\u01b0\u01a1ng Cemetery to pay tribute to national heroes. Travelers can join a silent procession through incense smoke and flickering candlelight, experiencing a solemn and beautiful ritual grounded in gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mekong Delta<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving to the Mekong Delta, enjoying fruit rituals and flower boats in C\u1ea7n Th\u01a1 City is a delightful idea. In southern Vietnam, Tet traditions involve wordplay and water. Families prepare a fruit tray based on a linguistic pun, symbolising wishes for prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At C\u00e1i R\u0103ng Floating Market, the river turns into a floating garden as boats filled with yellow flowers create a picturesque scene at sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Hoi An Ancient Town<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lion dances are a common sight in Vi\u1ec7t Nam, with H\u1ed9i An being an atmospheric location for such festivities. In H\u1ed9i An Ancient Town, drumbeats reverberate through narrow alleys past centuries-old merchant houses. In between performances, locals gather for B\u00e0i Ch\u00f2i, a traditional singing bingo game played in the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Hue Old Capital<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option is the Royal C\u00e2y N\u00eau Ceremony in Th\u1eeba Thi\u00ean-Hu\u1ebf central province. In the ancient capital of Hu\u1ebf, T\u1ebft commences similarly to how it did for emperors. Guards dressed in 19th-century court attire raise the C\u00e2y N\u00eau, a tall bamboo pole believed to ward off evil spirits. This ceremony marks the official start of the royal holiday and provides a rare glimpse into Vietnam\u2019s dynastic rituals, revived solely during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Duong Lam Ancient Village<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Just 50 kilometers from H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i, \u0110\u01b0\u1eddng L\u00e2m preserves the traditional rhythms of northern T\u1ebft. The village’s red clay houses, communal gates, and calligraphy scrolls offer a glimpse of an older time. Village elders engage in tea ceremonies and offer rituals as they have done for generations, providing a serene contrast to the bustling energy of the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the vibrant city fireworks and bustling flower markets, TET offers a rich tapestry of rituals, ancient beliefs, and local customs.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
