Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, is the most significant festival of the year, held between late January and February. Families gather to honour ancestors, decorate homes with kumquat trees, and prepare traditional foods like banh chung (square sticky rice cake). Streets are alive with decorations and traditional dragon dances, welcoming good fortune for the coming year.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8980\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8980\" class=\"wp-image-8980 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities.jpeg\" alt=\"T\u1ebft is a time for families to gather and celebrate with traditional customs and festivities.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities-1170x780.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities-585x390.jpeg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8980\" class=\"wp-image-8980\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities.jpeg\" alt=\"T\u1ebft is a time for families to gather and celebrate with traditional customs and festivities.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities-1170x780.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/18091927\/Tet-is-a-time-for-families-to-gather-and-celebrate-with-traditional-customs-and-festivities-585x390.jpeg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript><p id=\"caption-attachment-8980\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">T\u1ebft is a time for families to gather and celebrate with traditional customs and festivities.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated in September or October, is especially enjoyable for families and children.

Generally, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/unlock-vietnams-charm-knowing-the-best-time-to-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">best time to visit<\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\"> is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. This period features pleasant weather, making it ideal for exploring popular tourist attractions like Halong Bay, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">However, this can also be the busiest time for tourism, especially around major holidays such as T\u1ebft (Lunar New Year). If you prefer to avoid the crowds while still enjoying good weather, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of October and May. These months offer a balance of fewer tourists and decent weather, allowing you to appreciate Vietnam&#8217;s natural beauty and cultural attractions without the hustle and bustle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Getting Around<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Navigating Vietnam is relatively easy, with a variety of transportation options available:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Domestic Flights<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">: Vietnam has a well-connected network of domestic flights that link major cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Nha Trang. These flights are relatively inexpensive and can save time when travelling long distances.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Trains<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">: For a scenic way to travel between cities, consider taking the train. The Reunification Express offers a picturesque journey from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, allowing you to soak in the stunning landscapes along the way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Buses<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">: Buses are an economical option for shorter distances and are widely available across the country. They are especially useful for travelling to destinations like Ninh Binh or Hoi An.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Motorbikes<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">: If you\u2019re feeling adventurous and comfortable with the chaotic traffic, renting a motorcycle is a popular way to explore. This option allows you the freedom to venture off the beaten path and discover hidden gems at your own pace.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Cultural Etiquette<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Understanding and respecting local customs is essential when visiting Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Dress Modestly<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">: When visiting religious sites such as temples or pagodas, it&#8217;s important to dress modestly. Cover your shoulders and knees as a sign of respect.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Shoes Off<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">: Always remove your shoes before entering someone\u2019s home or a temple. This gesture shows respect for the host and the sacredness of the space.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Use Both Hands<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">: When giving or receiving something, use both hands. This practice demonstrates politeness and respect in Vietnamese culture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Ask Permission<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">: Before taking photos of people, particularly in rural areas, always ask for permission. Many locals appreciate the respect shown when you seek their approval.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1714100626171{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Don\u2019t Miss Our Exclusive Offers!
