The tourists included 8,000 foreign visitors, mainly from France, Australia and the US.

Besides discovering more about Vietnam’s Tet festival, the visitors had a large choice of traditional Vietnamese dishes to enjoy, adding to the festive atmosphere in Vietnam’s ancient capital.

The tourists had an opportunity to join the Lunar New Year’s Eve party, receive gifts and enjoy Tet feasts.
