The Tet atmosphere has begun to spread around Ho Chi Minh City, as the 'Tet Viet 2022' festival was recently launched at the city's Youth Culture House, bringing a slew of activities to celebrate the traditional holiday.

According to the observation of Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper reporters, many youngsters and families wore ao dai (Vietnamese long dress) and gathered at the Youth Culture House in District 1 last Sunday morning to take photos with a Tet background.

The event includes a variety of activities, such as folk games, performances by artisans at craft villages, calligraphy writing, traditional Tet foods and beverages, and a 'floating-market-in-the-air' model.

Visitors to the festival can rent ao dai for adults and children to wear for two hours for pictures.

Do Thi Huong Giang, a resident of Thu Duc City under Ho Chi Minh City, said she enjoyed wearing ao dai and came to the festival to snap photos in the traditional garment.

“I had a free weekend, so my friends and I deided to go to the calligrapher's stall and snap pictures while wearing ao dai," Giang shared.

“Wearing the traditional long garment of Vietnam gives me a lot of confidence.

"We spend our day creating some Tet memories together.”
