Tết has come and gone, but the memories remain.
While the holiday may be over, there's nothing wrong with reminiscing about the run-up to Tết 2021, especially in the wake of more muted celebrations due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. Take a walk through winter Hanoi to see people getting ready for the big event by eyeing peach blossom trees, buying decorations, getting their nails done, and more.
