During the event, Vietnamese people, who cannot return home to gather with their relatives in the nation’s traditional festival, had a chance to make Chung cake (square glutinous rice cake) – a traditional and indispensable dish in the Tet occasion of Vietnamese, and other traditional Vietnamese dishes.

Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Sao Mai said that through this activity, the embassy wishes all Vietnamese people living and studying in China to have a warm New Year.
