Organised by Management Board of the Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang Tourism Beaches, the programme recreates the old Tet atmosphere with a number of traditional customs such as the wrapping of 'banh chung' (square glutinous rice cakes) and 'banh tet' (cylindrical glutinous rice cake), and making sesame cakes, coconut jam and ginger jam.

Also, tourists and people are introduced to the art of calligraphy on Tet holiday, as well as have the opportunity to experience some folk games, including ‘nhay sap’ (dance with bamboo poles), ‘ dap nieu’ (clay pot breaking), and ‘bai choi’ (singing while acting as playing cards).

On the occasion, the management board gave 50 Tet gifts to sanitation workers, security guards, and people in difficult circumstances.
