"Tet"- the Lunar New Year!

Saigon is a great place to experience "Tet" the Lunar New Year. There are several flower and cultural shows that take place around the city leading up to the holiday. The city is decorated with peach and apricot blossoms. This year is the year of the Water Buffalo!

Lanterns lit throughout the city during the Tet season - Jan. 25, 2009
