Tết, the Lunar New Year, is when many renters have to decide whether to travel home or stay in Da Nang. This post helps you prepare what matters for your rental and daily life. The schedule of events, the flower markets and the opening hours of shops and restaurants will be added once official sources are available.
Your rental
- Talk to your landlord early: whether you keep or give up the room over Tết, and what rent you pay while you are away.
- Put the agreement in a message or in writing.
- If you give up the room, photograph its condition and record the electricity and water meter readings; see setting up electricity, water and internet.
- If you keep the room, unplug appliances, close the water valve, and leave the key with or tell someone you trust.
If you stay in Da Nang over Tết
- Stock up on food and essentials, because many restaurants and markets close for several days.
- Check the opening hours of supermarkets, pharmacies and places to eat before you need them.
- Follow the city’s official events. See how to find official events.
Travel and costs
- Bus, train and plane fares usually go up around Tết; book early.
- Ride-hailing cars and motorbikes are harder to find on the busiest days.
- See also cost of living to plan your budget.
