Staying up long hours the night before, spending time with family and friends, indulging in food, and watching fireworks displays are all common activities on 31 December in Vietnam. Many will also go out and party all night, make New Year’s resolutions (even if just for fun), or follow various superstitions about good and bad luck.
As Western New Year’s Day is a relatively recent “import” on Vietnam’s holiday calendar, most of the traditions are similar to those in Western countries. But you will certainly find local food and culture involved as well.
