We are going to explore Lantau island today and then we leave for Bangkok tonight at 9, luckily we

The Vietnamese New Year, or as locally known, Tet Nguyen Dan or simply Tet, will take place on 16 February 2018. The day is also called Feast of the First Morning or shortly Tet and is the most important of all Vietnam holidays. It is the feast of the new year after the moon calendar.
