During the first days of Tết, visiting the pagoda is a cherished tradition for many Vietnamese people.
Families gather to pray for health, luck, and prosperity in the new year.
The atmosphere is vibrant, filled with the sweet smell of incense wafting through the temple courtyards.
People light incense sticks, bow their heads, and make their wishes.
Another interesting practice is xin xăm, where individuals seek fortune telling by drawing sticks to get guidance for the year ahead.
This tradition remains popular, especially among younger generations, who appreciate the connection to their roots and the hope it brings for a successful year.
