Traditional Tet space opens in Hanoi’s Old Quarter
(VOVWORLD) - A traditional Tet space, featuring a wide variety of traditional cultural activities, is recreated in Hanoi’s Old Quarter from February 2 to 20, offering visitors an opportunity to enjoy Vietnamese Lunar New Year festival.
An exhibition of Kim Hoang folk paintings is being held at the Kim Ngan communal temple as part of activities to celebrate Tet. The art of Kim Hoang paintings has been revived recently and will be on display for the first time after decades of discontinuity.
