In the story of Tet, Mr. Sinh said that his family has many children, grandchildren and relatives. On Tet, Mr. Sinh's family often slaughters a large pig of about 100kg to make food for the ritual of worshiping and welcoming guests to the house to celebrate the new year.

Mr. Ho A Lenh's family in Nam Po 2 village (Muong Nhe commune) is meticulously crafting beautiful and beautiful panpipes to prepare for the 2024 Spring festival season.

Settling for 16 years in Nam Po 2 village, although his family does not have many fields, Mr. Lenh knows how to make Mong pipes using traditional methods.

With his diligence and hard work combined with his passion for making resonant sounding panpipes, for many years now, Mr. Lenh has supported himself and his family from his passion. At the age of over 50, Mr. Lenh continues to pass on his craft to his children and young people in the village who are passionate about making panpipes.

According to Mr. Lenh, the Mong flute is used to play for the dead and for cultural and artistic festivals. The flutes produced are not only consumed in the region but are also sought after by foreigners.

Spring colors are flooding all over Muong Nhe villages.

During Tet holidays, Ha Nhi ethnic women always wear traditional costumes.
