| Vietnam National Holiday Details |

Vietnam is the top five countries with the lowest national holiday in the world. It has only been more than ten days in a whole year. Therefore, for the Vietnamese people who have to spend half a day on Saturday, it is very valuable to have three days of vacation. Once on holiday, many work in different places. Vietnamese people will return to their hometowns to reunite with their families during their long vacations. These returning homes and tourists will most likely cause traffic congestion in the main roads of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh.

New Year's Day (January 1)

The New Year's Eve New Year's Day car will be concentrated in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City Center. It is recommended that busy travelers can arrive early, and there will be many parties or programs every year, which is very lively. If you don't want to squeeze, you can choose a Chinese-Vietnamese Nha Trang, Da Nang, Hoi An and other New Year's Eve.

Vietnamese New Year (From last day of the last lunar month to 5th day of the first lunar month)

The Spring Festival is Vietnam's most important traditional festival. Before the Chinese (before New Year's Eve), no matter how far the Vietnamese are, they will usually go home to reunite with their families and spend the New Year's Eve and the Year. On the occasion that the old year is about to leave and the new year is coming, we will put on the incense case to welcome the New Year. What is special is that we eat at the Dragon Boat Festival. They eat rice dumplings during the Spring Festival and use banana leaves. Square big dumplings, the filling is generally based on soybean or mung bean pork.

Hung Kings Commemorations (10th day of the 3rd lunar month)

The very important meaning behind the Xiongwang Festival represents the filial piety and the source of drinking water, and the first people's hard work and dedication. Even for the younger generation, there will be no more time to go to worship in one life, but since the Ching Ming Festival in Vietnam is not on holiday, many families will choose to sweep the grave on the day of the King’s Day to make up for the Qingming The festival cannot sacrifice the ancestors' regrets.

Reunification Day (April 30)

After Vietnam declared independence on September 2, 1945, it waited for 30 years. On the day of April 30, 1975, Vietnam defeated the US military and successfully won the longest, most difficult and greatest war in Vietnam’s history. And complete the national unity.

International Labour Day (May 1)

Also known as the May Day International Labor Day, Labor Day, and International Demonstration Day, it is the Labor Day of most countries in the world.

National Day (September 2)

The most not to be missed on National Day is the military parade! In the Ba Dinh Square in the capital, Hanoi, the Vietnamese government held a grand military parade. In addition to the army, air and sea forces, the military units involved also cover the general people, such as the border guards, the youth army and the women's army! It is a fairly standard "national mobilization." The Ba Ting Square in the capital, Hanoi, where the President Ho Chi Minh announced the independence of Vietnam, gathered thousands of people every year.

 

| Useful Tips |

How to avoid the crowd, that is, "the opposite is true." Specifically, it is to avoid the peak hours when the average person goes out, the time when the crowds are the most, and the route that everyone will take. For example, Da Nang is a famous tourist attraction. Travelers will definitely go to Bana Mountain, Golden Bridge, Church, Meixi Beach, etc. Every time they arrive, they will surely catch traffic. These attractions will also be crowded with people. However, it is recommended that passengers choose more local classic hidden routes, take a leisurely stroll in a quiet environment, and enjoy the good times and local cuisine.
