VOV.VN - Many Vietnamese in the US travelled to pagodas over the first few days of the Lunar New Year to offer their prayers for a felicitous year in 2018.

Vietnamese arrived at pagodas soon after New Year’s Eve had passed. |

On the west coast of the US, people’s Tet celebrations can often be held outdoors due to the year round warm weather. |
