Descriptions:
The Tet Holiday is the biggest holiday of the year in Vietnam
, which is yearly celebrated on the occasion of lunar (Chinese) new year
and the children , sons , daughters where ever
far away they stay they
come home for a meal with all members of family as
well, we Vietnamese have
typical and traditional way to welcome lunar new year , of which we
prepare the Tet around 2 weeks in advance (1 month in the past): buying
dry food: mushroom, vermicelli , bamboo shoot,...etc . We make the
traditional cake - TRUNG cake for Tet, this cake is made from sticky rice, green
bean, pepper ,and pork. The trip would be exciting and more funny if we join in
the market to collect the items for Tet such as : food and a kumquat tree, a
branch of peach for decoration in the house . We design this tour for the
persons who want to discover the culture of welcoming Tet holiday in
