Visiting pagodas and temples in the New Year
(VOV) - Visiting pagodas on the first days of the Lunar New Year has long been a deep-rooted tradition of the Vietnamese people and this year has been no exception as many pagodas report being overloaded.
In Vietnam, the custom is described as – Le Chua – which means not only visiting but also showing sincere respect to Buddha and the Gods of the pagodas or temples.
We have gathered here some of our best photos memorialising this year’s event.
