The "Tet Station" program is held at 22 Hang Buom, Hanoi, implemented by BeatNetwork. The program takes place from January 30, bringing a traditional Tet experience space for people and tourists. At the "Tet Station - Full 5 Full Tet" space, students can experience making lucky money envelopes themselves, writing wishes to send to 2026, touching a very unique Tet with all five senses.
Starting from the belief that everyone has a different feeling about Tet, the cultural experience project is organized to create a special journey called "Tet Station - Enough 5 Enough Tet".
According to the organizers, if Tet is fully felt by five senses, people will "make the right name Tet in their hearts". And that journey begins by going through five experience stations, each station corresponding to a sense, a piece of memory.
Sharing about the program's idea, Phuong Anh - manager of Du Thanh "Binh Ngo Response" - said that the Tet Station is designed like an emotional train that takes everyone to experience all senses to enjoy the taste of old Tet.
Especially, at Station 2 - Du Thanh, the sound of Tet becomes a catalyst for everyone to calm down and write wishes for 2026. Coming here, participants record messages to themselves, good wishes. These messages will be stored and reopened at the end of 2026, as a way to dialogue with dreams.
If they haven't had time to speak, participants can hang their wishes on the wind chime, so that the wind can carry their wishes far away.
Not only that, the event is also attractive with Station 5 - Du Cham, with the theme "Spring Package Returns". Here, students and tourists can make handicrafts themselves, including traditional lucky money envelopes, to feel a very close, very real Tet.
The experience space also attracts many schools to bring students to participate in extracurricular activities. Ms. Hoang Thi Thu Trang - a 3rd grade teacher at Tran Nhat Duat Elementary School - said that this is the second time the children have come to the 22 Hang Buom Cultural Center.
If the previous time the children learned about the Mid-Autumn Festival, this time it is the traditional Tet. The activity not only brings spring joy but also helps the children look towards the roots of the nation," she shared.
According to Ms. Trang, what makes students most excited is being able to directly participate, from making lucky money envelopes to bring home to give to relatives to exploring Tet customs through practical experiences, instead of just learning from books.
When asked about their feelings, the students could not hide their joy and desire to continue participating in more similar cultural activities.
Going through all five stations, it is also the time for each person to name their own Tet. Tet is no longer confined to a concept, but in enough colors to see, enough thanh to hear, enough hương to remember, enough taste to love and enough touch to make Tet stay long in your heart.
Station 1 - Du Sac, participants depart with visual experiences with photo spaces, spring scenes and traditional aesthetic values vividly recreated.
Station 2 - Du Thanh, the sound of Tet becomes a catalyst for everyone to calm down and write wishes for 2026. Coming here, participants write messages to themselves, good wishes.
Station 3 - Du Huong, where participants challenge to guess Tet scents.
Station 4 - Du Vi honors cuisine from three regions, explains the meaning of Tet feasts.
Station 5 - Du Cham, with the theme "Spring Package Returns". Here, students and tourists can make handicrafts themselves.
