Tet cultural activities in Hanoi
VTV.vn - A range of cultural activities are being held in Hanoi to celebrate the coming Lunar Year of the Chicken. The Imperial Citadel and the Temple of Literature are both hosting celebrations.

At the citadel, hundreds of Hàng Trống, Kim Hoàng, and Đông Hồ prints are on display. The gallery aims to recreate the traditional Vietnamese art scene every Tet Holiday. This is one of many exhibitions at the citadel, along with costumes from the feudal period, heritage photos, and ornamental plants.

At the Temple of Literature, the most notable activity is the Spring Calligraphy Fair, hosting more than 50 calligraphers. Traditional crafts, folk paintings, folk games, and calligraphy gallery sections are also taking place. The Calligraphy Fair will open until February 11th. Also at the temple, Ca trù and Quan họ traditional music genres will be performed from February 2nd to the 5th.
