Tet holiday (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) is the most significant festival in Vietnamese culture. Tet is celebrated to welcome the Lunar New Year and to summarize the achievements of the previous year. It is considered an important mark for changes, plans, and progress.


Blooming yellow apricot trees are one of the symbols of Tet in South Vietnam. And by the beginning of the holiday season (Tet Festival 2021 - February 12, 2021), Ho Chi Minh City turns into an ideal place for a photo session with yellow flowers displayed in different locations around the town ahead of the celebration!


We headed to Viet Tan Suu Festival 2021 at Thanh Nien Cultural House (street behind the Diamond Plaza) to take some inspiring portrait shots.

It's a photography hot spot in town and could be very crowded but totally worth a visit with a camera :)
