Descriptions: The Tet Holiday is the biggest holiday of the year in Vietnam, which is yearly celebrated on the occasion of lunar (Chinese) new year and the children, sons, daughters where ever far away they stay they come home for a meal with all members of family as well, we Vietnamese have typical and traditional way to welcome lunar new year, of which we prepare the Tet around 2 weeks in advance (1 month in the past): buying dry food: mushroom, vermicelli, bamboo shoot,...etc . We make the traditional cake - TRUNG cake for Tet, this cake is made from sticky rice, green bean, pepper, and pork. The trip would be exciting and more funny if we join in the market to collect the items for Tet such as: food and a kumquat tree, a branch of peach for decoration in the house. We design this tour for the persons who want to discover the culture of welcoming Tet holiday in Vietnam.
