The Tet Fair to welcome in the forthcoming Tet Festival 2020 took place at the Museum of Da Nang, at 24 Tran Phu, last weekends.

The event aimed to preserve the special traditional cultural values, and to create meaningful experiences for both locals and visitors arriving in the city, especially children.

Let’s have a look at amazing photos from this interesting event, which are captured by our freelance photographer Khoi Nguyen.

Traditional Tet fairs have been deeply rooted in many generations as they vividly reflex features of the people's cultural and spiritual life. Visiting such a meaningful year-end event is not only for shopping, but it also offers a chance to enjoy spring ambience.
