The 'Early Spring Festival' programme is taking place at the Museum of Da Nang, 24 Tran Phu, this weekend, aiming to provide the public with one more spring travel destination imbued with cultural identity on the first days of the lunar new year.

Visitors to the programme can immerse themselves in the joyful and colorful scenery of the new spring and participate in a number of activities to experience Tet traditions such as making paper firecrackers and ‘to he’ (toy figurines). Also, there is a check-in space decorated in Tet style in the 80s and 90s.

The programme not only brings the public the joyful atmosphere of the ancient Tet but also educates the young generation about the beauties of traditional Vietnamese culture. This contributes to preserving and promoting the traditional cultural values of the nation, and meeting the healthy entertainment needs of locals and tourists during the Tet holiday.
