Tết, also known as Lunar New Year, stands as Vietnam's grandest festival, prompting elaborate preparations that commence weeks beforehand. Vietnamese people start preparing for Tết weeks until a few days in advance, and that's where our journey begins!
Rise and shine—it’s Tet time! Climb onto your bike and join our guides as we glide through Saigon’s buzzing streets, camera ready for every splash of color. First, we fuel up like true locals with crispy bánh mì and rich Vietnamese coffee, because great adventures begin with great breakfast.
Then we roll into magic: the once-a-year Floating Flowers Market at Bến Bình Đông. Boats brim with brilliant blossoms, vendors shout cheerfully, and the canal comes alive in a kaleidoscope of Tet hues. Every corner begs for a photo.
But the real showstopper? Exclusive backstage access to a lion dance troupe’s private practice. Feel the drums shake the ground as dancers leap, twist, and roar their way into the new year. Chat with the performers and unlock stories behind one of Vietnam’s most electrifying traditions.
The excitement continues in Cho Lon, Saigon’s vibrant Chinatown. Wander markets bursting with fruits, festive goods, and irresistible chaos, then step into ancient Chinese temples where culture, history, and the Tet spirit blend into pure wonder.
Get ready to soak in more than you'd ever expect!
