Vietnamese New Year, more commonly known by its shortened name Tết or "Tết Nguyên Đán", is the most important and popular holiday and festival in Vietnam. It is the Vietnamese New Year marking the arrival of spring based on the Chinese calendar, a lunisolar calendar. The name Vietnam New Year is Sino-Vietnamese for Feast of the First Morning, derived from the Hán nôm characters 節 元 旦.Tết is celebrated on the same day as Chinese New Year, though exceptions arise due to the one-hour time difference between Hanoi and Beijing resulting in the alternate calculation of the new moon. It takes place from the first day of the first month of the Lunar calendar (around late January or early February) until at least the third day. Many Vietnamese prepare for Tết by cooking special holiday foods and cleaning the house. There are a lot of customs practiced during Tết, such as visiting a person's house on the first day of the new year (xông nhà), ancestral worshipping, wishing New Year's greetings, giving lucky money to children and elderly people, and opening a shop.
Tết is also an occasion for pilgrims and family reunions. During Tết, Vietnamese visit their relatives and temples, forgetting about the troubles of the past year and hoping for a better upcoming year. They consider Tết to be the first day of spring and the festival is often called Hội xuân (spring festival).

"Indulge yourself at the Pandanus Resort's Peony Spa, a haven for relaxation and body wellness in a tranquil atmosphere. The spa provides various body treatments, massages and salon services to rejuvenate your body and soul."
The Pandanus is the closest resort to the famous "red" sand dunes and canyon of Mui Ne. The salmon-colored dunes are a ten minute hike up a small hill above the resort, and the canyons may be reached by walking north one kilometer on the beach.
The resort is on the northern side of the picturesque fishing village of Mui Ne towards the tiny village of Ap Thien Ai and separated from the myriad of small resorts and guest houses that line the beach south of Mui Ne towards the city of Phan Thiet.
The Mui Ne area records the least amount of rainfall of any area of Vietnam, so even when it rains daily during July and August in Ho Chi Minh City, just four and a half hour drive from Phan Thiet, it seldom rains in Mui Ne.
