Flavours of three regional Tet feasts in contemporary life

Each dish embodies not only taste but also memories and cultural values nurtured over generations. Sustaining this heritage ensures that Vietnamese cuisine is not eroded by time, but continues to be cherished, renewed and shared with care and respect.

Good fortune, peace and cultural experiences within spring journeys

In recent years, alongside the tradition of family reunions during the Lunar New Year (Tet), travelling during the holiday has become increasingly popular. Early spring travel is not merely about sightseeing; it also carries the meaning of seeking good fortune, peace and cultural experiences across different regions of the country.

Remembering banh chung is, for many, the same as remembering Tet itself – the ancestral tradition and the warmth of family reunion each spring.
