Whether you call it Lunar New Year, Tet, Chinese New Year, or Korean New Year, it’s all the same celebration. It’s all based on the Moon making its circle around Earth. To many, it’s considered the most important holiday for the Chinese, Vietnamese, and the Koreans. It’s generally a holiday where you spend quality time with your family and pay respect to the elders. However, since it is the New Year, you can’t go without checking out a community celebration!
