Tips for traveling Tet Holiday

When traveling to any of these locations for the Lunar New Year, there are a few things that you should bear in mind, as recommended by yours truly:

Avoid the first day of Tet.

People in Vietnam put a halt to all business activity during the first few days of the Lunar New Year so that they may spend more time with their family. That indicates that no businesses or restaurants will be open, so you should make appropriate preparations in advance. Travel either before Tet or after the third day, whichever comes first.

Book in advance ( accommodation, transportation and restaurant reservation weeks) 

Because the Lunar New Year is the busiest period of the year in Vietnam, it is crucial that you book your accommodations, transportation, and excursions in advance in order to prevent any unanticipated complications.

When haggling, use extreme caution.

Because it is the holiday season, it is important to keep in mind that the costs of food and transportation may be somewhat increased from their normal levels.

Consider cultural traditions

Vietnamese people observe a number of traditions and practices during Tet that may not be known to visitors. It's important to honor and be aware of these traditions, such as delivering presents to hosts and dressing in crimson for good fortune.

Get your "li xi" (lucky money) ready.

Put some fortunate money in envelopes and hand them out to the individuals you meet to put a smile on their faces.

Don't forget to present "li xi" to the personnel of any stores, cafes, or hotels from which you've benefited. You probably won't miss more than a few of dollars, but they'll go nuts over it.

Explore the region's cuisine

If you've never had Vietnamese food before, the Lunar New Year is the ideal opportunity to experience some of the special delicacies that are only served at this time of year. Banh Chung, Mut Tet, and dried candied fruits are just a few of the local delights that you shouldn't pass up.

Vietnamese folks have a lot of fun and enjoy the joyful mood during the Lunar New Year. Experience the genuine essence of Tet by participating in local celebrations, such as seeing dragon dances and taking in the festive mood. This is a good idea for Tet Holiday in Vietnam. 

Following the aforementioned advice and suggestions, your vacation to Vietnam for the Lunar New Year will be one you'll always remember. We wish you the best of times in Vietnam throughout the Tet holiday.
