As the Lunar New Year approaches, the hustle and bustle intensifies with the purchase of peach and apricot blossoms, ornamental flowers, and dry goods in preparation for the festivities. This careful preparation ensures a prosperous and fulfilling New Year celebration. On the eve of the last day of the year, if someone is still away and hasn’t returned to their family, it’s said that they are still caught up in life’s struggles. Therefore, everyone longs to be present, gathering together in the warmth and love of their family home.

As life changes, although many taboos about the Tet days are gradually fading, important rituals are still preserved. Maintaining traditional customs is also a way to return to the spiritual values that our ancestors nurtured, shaping the Vietnamese identity.

As important holidays approach, everyone eagerly anticipates fully enjoying their break in their own way. Then come the journeys: leisurely travels and journeys filled with joy. Some head to the Northwest to admire peach and apricot blossoms bursting into color amidst the thin blue rain, blending with the mountains and hills, and participate in festivals with ethnic minority communities. Others follow melodious traditional songs to the folk festivals of the Northern Delta region. There are those who seek private, serene spaces beside the blue sea, with white sands and golden sun.
