Heritage

Tết is shortened from Tết Nguyên Đán, which means ‘Feast of the First Morning of the First Day’, and is the biggest and most important festival of the year in Vietnam, lasting up to one week with even a few weeks of aftermath.

Having lived in Vietnam 12 years and worked in tourism here for 8 years, I often get asked questions about the history and culture of the country. The primary reason for the creation of the Visit Phong Nha website was to answer these questions through the publication of articles and information.
