Enjoying Lion Dance (Mua Lan) - characteristic of Vietnamese festival seasons

Especially in Southeast Asia, Lion Dance ("Múa Lân" in Vietnamese) has become a very familiar cultural beauty. This is an art and also a spiritual dish of Vietnamese people during the Tet holidays. Especially when you visit the West of Vietnam, the Lion Dance troupes will not disappoint you. 

This is a picture of a lion dance group in Sa Dec city - Dong Thap. Recently, many people have been coming here to celebrate Tet.

Collecting the red color of the Tet holiday

One of the typical red colors of Tet is the red lucky money. Specifically, during the Lunar New Year in Asian countries, it is customary to put money in a small envelope decorated with bright red or vermilion to celebrate children's age. In the southern dialect of Vietnamese, that money is called lucky money (“Lì Xì” in Vietnamese). We Vietnamese believe that at the beginning of the year, receiving lucky money or giving lucky money to children will receive many lucky things. 

Try giving lucky money to your friends and your loved ones, it's also a way to celebrate the new year according to Vietnamese culture. 

Savor Vietnamese folk dishes

There is no more appropriate time to eat traditional Vietnamese food than the holidays. Especially, it must be mentioned that Banh Chung and Banh Tet, which are long-standing folk dishes are associated with the folk stories of Vietnam. It is the spiritual dish of all Vietnamese people and is also a unique specialty of Vietnam.

Along with colorful cakes or pepper cakes, the Western market is the ideal place to gather a lot of Tet specialties for you to enjoy.
