Tết - Chinese New Year Vietnam

Vietnamese New Year, more commonly known by its shortened name Tết or "Tết Nguyên Đán", is the most important and popular holiday and festival in Vietnam. It is the Vietnamese New Year marking the arrival of spring based on the Chinese calendar, a lunisolar calendar. The name Vietnam New Year is Sino-Vietnamese for Feast of the First Morning, derived from the Hán nôm characters 節 元 旦.Tết is celebrated on the same day as Chinese New Year, though exceptions arise due to the one-hour time difference between Hanoi and Beijing resulting in the alternate calculation of the new moon. It takes place from the first day of the first month of the Lunar calendar (around late January or early February) until at least the third day. Many Vietnamese prepare for Tết by cooking special holiday foods and cleaning the house. There are a lot of customs practiced during Tết, such as visiting a person's house on the first day of the new year (xông nhà), ancestral worshipping, wishing New Year's greetings, giving lucky money to children and elderly people, and opening a shop.
Tết is also an occasion for pilgrims and family reunions. During Tết, Vietnamese visit their relatives and temples, forgetting about the troubles of the past year and hoping for a better upcoming year. They consider Tết to be the first day of spring and the festival is often called Hội xuân (spring festival).

Address: Mango Bay Resort, Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam

  • MANGO BAY RESORT PHU QUOC ISLAND

    Mango Bay Resort, 15 minutes north of Phu Quoc airport, offers a uniquely relaxing atmosphere with two deserted white sand beaches facing Vietnam's best ocean sunsets.

    Wind down sipping a glass of chilled wine in the sea side open-air restaurant and enjoy some of the best seafood in Vietnam.

    Swim in the turquoise waters, snorkel amongst rainbow-coloured fish and coral. Explore the surrounding natural forest , or just lie back and watch the sea eagles glide by.

    This is a low density resort, driven by a passion for the environment, intelligent use of materials, and strong support for island culture. Mango Bay is tucked away off the beaten track, with Vietnam's first rammed earth bungalows, enclosed by beach and protected forest.

    There are no air-cons, television sets or telephones in the rooms for a true fusion with nature at the island's first eco-friendly resort.

    All rooms and bungalows have open sea views and offer mosquito nets, overhead fans, al fresco bathrooms, and solar powered hot water.

    This tropical paradise is located in the Gulf of Thailand and accessible by air from Saigon (50 minutes - 3 flights a day) and by sea from Rach Gia (2.5 hours - 2 boats a day)..

    - The island is situated in the renowned Gulf of Thailand. Off shore fishing is a lucrative industry and local islanders tend to have higher standards of living than their counterparts on the mainland.

    - People are therefore generally relatively well off and happy not to demand anything from passing foreigners. Instead they will welcome them with healthy smiles and let them enjoy their quiet beautiful surroundings.

    - All bangalow have ocean views.

    Eight rammed earth bungalows: solid cool rammed earth walls, leaf thatched roofs and spacious decks. All are equipped with ceiling fans, four-poster beds draped with cotton.
