People are busy buying gifts, cleaning and decorating their houses and cooking traditional foods. Homes are often decorated with plants and flowers at this time. Peach blossom is the symbol of Tet in the North, while apricot blossom is traditional in the South. One of Tet's most special foods is banh chung.
