During the festival, the H’Mong females wore colorful costumes with accessories such as hats and silver jewelry.
The H’Mong people are one of the ethnic groups with traditional values that have been preserved going back a very long time. The H’Mong New Year takes place one month before the Lunar New Year, which is also the time when farmers will harvest their crops. On Tet holiday, people renovate houses, clean altars, and wear beautiful dresses to celebrate spring.
