Tet (Lunar New Year) in Viet Nam and Chinese New Year

8-14 February 2024
This period marks significant celebrations in both Vietnam and China, as families come together to honour ancestors and pray for luck, prosperity, and health in the new year. 

In Vietnam, the Lunar New Year (Tết Nguyên Đán) is celebrated with special foods like candied fruit, braised pork with eggs, and sticky rice cakes (bánh chưng). 

Simultaneously, Chinese New Year festivities are characterized by their own unique traditions and culinary delights, symbolizing renewal and reunion.
