Описание: This is my follow up video to the What to Know about Tet. In this video I'm going to give you a brief guide on Things to Do during Tet in Ho Chi Minh City.

What is Tet?
Tet is the Vietnamese lunar new year and it falls on January 29th this year. It's the biggest and longest holiday in Vietnam, government and private businesses close up to a week during this period. This is the time when many people go back to their hometown and villages to spend time with their families. During the first few days of Tet, it's a tradition to visit the homes of families and friends to exchange new year greetings. Afterwards, people enjoy leisurely time going to different venues for photo taking.
