Tet is a famous national holiday of Vietnam. For who don’t know, Tet (also called Tet Nguyen Dan) is the most important holiday in this S-shaped country. It is the first day of a new year according to the lunar calendar, thus marking the arrival of spring. Tet mostly falls at the end of January or the first weeks of February.<\/p>\n
To the Vietnamese people, Tet is a time to refresh themselves and hope to overcome any troubles that they cannot solve the previous year. More important, Tet is a time for family when people all around Vietnam go back to their hometown to gather up with their family after a busy year in bustling big cities. On these days, you may have the chance to see a totally different Vietnam. Many streets in big cities may seem similar to a ghost town as most houses, restaurants, stores are closed and most people are nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n
