Spring rolls into our lives naturally and effortlessly like a wakeup call. Hanoi’s spring comes with its signature drizzles along with the ubiquitous presence of peach blossom and kumquat trees, signaling the arrival of Tet – the Vietnamese Lunar New year. The whole city is adorned with its most beautiful attire of first spring flowers shyly looming their flowery heads, from the streets and flower markets to every festive home.

From Late January to February is the busiest time of the year when many festivals take place: ‘Tháng giêng là tháng ăn chơi’ – Lunar January is the month of partying. Hanoians have mastered the art of ‘appreciating flowers’, or ‘playing flowers’, as they prefer to put it (chơi hoa). In early February, when spring is in full swing and Tet is just around the corner, it’s an unwritten tradition for generations of Hanoi people to head to local flower markets and gardens to witness nature at its busiest.

They come here with their loved ones, enjoy one another’s company, embrace the incredible display of color, and feel love manifest itself everywhere. Given that every passing day is something we can never get back, many youngsters and families come to these places to take pictures and immortalize the moments. Coming here and you are promised with an experience filled with scent and color!

Tet Tao Quan (The day of worshipping Kitchen Gods) is one of the essential festivals in Vietnamese religious beliefs. In reality, Tet kicks off a week before the Lunar New Year actually begins. The festive atmosphere starts to fill the air starting on the 23rd of Lunar December.

Vietnamese people believe that each house has a trio of deities who protect and watch over their behavior for the whole year. On the 23rd, they will fly back to Heaven on a carp for an annual meet up with the Jade Emperor to report on all of the affairs in the house. The purpose of Tet Tao Quan is to host a grand farewell celebration for the trio.

Each house makes offerings of incense, flowers, fruits, delicacies, and especially three votive paper carp. One large carp or three small carp in a bowl with water are kept aside. Once the ceremony is over, the carp are freed into a pond, lake, or river. Freeing the carp is a way to show respect and gratitude towards the animal world, as well as wish for a prosperous year.
