Special Program of Bassac Cruise on Tet Holiday

Tet this year falls on February 3rd. Like every year, after two weeks of
flower market, the lunar new year festival will mark a marked slow down
in social activity for a few days.


The floating markets will be poor and little visited if at all for the
few days following Tềt. We thus offer to amend the programs and add a
presentation of the traditional dance of the licorns: the house spirit,
ông Táo goes back to the sky to submit his yearly report on the
activities of the family, and upon his return, leads the dragons who
command bring happiness to the household.
