Peach blossom farmers in Nhat Tan, a village famous for the flowers in Hanoi, keep in contact with people who hire their trees for Tet and collect them after the Lunar New Year so they can get to work early for the following festival.

 VietNamNet Bridge – The lunar New Year (Tet) will come in one month but many peach trees in the Nhat Tan flower garden, Hanoi, begin blooming, even in the cold weather.

Last week, Viet Nam News asked readers for their favourite memories of Tet holidays and questioned what they think of the suggestion that the country should celebrate Tet under the solar calendar instead of the lunar one.
