Thirty foreign visitors who are Hanoi-based ambassadors, representatives of diplomatic missions, and international organizations have just had the opportunity to experience the Vietnamese traditional Lunar New Year festival in the ancient village of Duong Lam.
The program entitled “Happy Tet 2022” is jointly organized by the Hanoi Investment, Trade, and Tourism Promotion Center and the People’s Committee of Son Tay Town. |
Having been in Vietnam for about 10 years, this is the first time that Anton Golubev (Embassy of the Russian Federation) had the opportunity to experience a truly Tet atmosphere in Duong Lam ancient village. "We usually have to work during the Vietnamese traditional Tet holiday. I was so impressed with the authentic atmosphere of the Vietnamese Tet which was re-enacted here. I will spend more time traveling and exploring destinations around Hanoi in the coming time,” he said. |
Ambassador of the Republic of Chile to Vietnam Patricio Becker showed his joyfulness when having a chance to experience the Tet in its most authentic way. "Vietnamese Tet is very interesting, moreover, it also contains good traditional values of Vietnamese people," he stated. |
Participating in the “Happy Tet 2022” program, visitors also have the opportunity to experience the traditional Tet market space, which is re-enacted at Mong Phu Communal House. The stalls feature various typical local dishes as well as craft and folk-art products. |
