The atmosphere of the traditional Vietnamese Lunar New Year festival, known locally as Tet, will be recreated at the Happy Tet 2024 programme due to take place at the Thang Long imperial citadel in Ha Noi from January 24 to 28.
Spanning a total area of 3,500 square metres, the historical site arranges special spaces for Tet celebrations, from the old times to tourist destinations and heritage sites across the country.
Models of trains, age-old houses, Long Bien bridge, Dong Xuan market, Me Linh flower market, and Tet celebrations in the central and southern regions will be erected and re-enacted on the premises of the site.
Visitors to the event will have the opportunity to experience a traditional Tet through various activities such as calligraphy giving, toy making, and cake making, among others.
A photograph exhibition on Tet customs from the old times and art performances will also get underway as part of the programme.
The festival will also provide a space specifically for businesses to introduce food and high-quality products during the Tet holiday.
