For the people of Vietnam, the celebration of the Lunar New Year, 'Tet,' is like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve combined into one. As a matter of fact, it is the single most important celebration for the Vietnamese folks, and everyone should celebrate at least once in their lifetime.

For those who are planning to take a trip to Vietnam, especially to witness this special occasion, here are the best places for everyone to visit and celebrate Tet Festival!

Hanoi, The Capital City of Vietnam

Hanoi does not only serve as Vietnam's political and economic center. The capital city of Vietnam is also one of the best spots for everyone to visit during Tet.

Around a week before the Tet Festival, Hanoi folks will start the festivity by decorating their houses with peach blossoms. On the day of the festival, though, people will go to Hoan Kiem Lake, Lac Long Quan Flower Garden, and other public spaces to witness fireworks.

But the festivity does not stop there. People in Hanoi continue to celebrate the festival until the sixth day, where they participate in a parade and engaged in a calligraphy festival.

Hue, an Ancient City in Central Vietnam

The city of Hue possesses remnants of the past that can be seen in their beautiful historical monuments. One of them is Hue Imperial City, in the citadel of Hue.

During the Tet Festival, the ceremony begins with the installation of the Tet bamboo pole, or also known as cay neu. It is believed that this pole is to ward off evil spirits and ensure the celebration goes successfully.

On the Lunar New Year's Eve, the celebration continues by firing fireworks and lighting the flag tower. As the ancient city lit up, everyone can enjoy the Imperial cuisines being sold on the streets of Hue.

Ho Chi Minh City, Also Known As 'Saigon'

Ho Chi Minh is a city with a very significant number of population. Therefore, it is understandable to expect the folks on Ho Chi Minh to have big celebrations for the Tet Festival. In fact, the festivity usually lasts for a week.

Similar to the one in Hanoi, the beginning of Tet in Ho Chi Minh is all about flowers, and the ending of it is followed by fireworks shows. However, the main difference is that Ho Chi Minh also celebrates a specific carnival for this and puts up blossom-themed installations and for everyone to enjoy.

Those were the spots everyone can visit to celebrate Tet Festival like the locals. Although Tet is marked by fireworks shows, traditional treats, and beautiful peach blossoms, it is worth noting that the festival is all about welcoming a new beginning. What a better way to do this than doing this with the family?
