The new-moon day, in Vietnam time (UTC+7), that opens the first month of the Vietnamese lunar calendar: usually the second new moon after the winter solstice, between 21 January and 20 February.
- 04Chinese New Year the same year
The same day as in China (Saturday, 6 February 2027).
- 05Good to know
In a few years Tết falls one day before Chinese New Year, when the new moon is within an hour of midnight in China.
Tết Nguyên Đán, the Vietnamese lunar new year, follows the same lunisolar rules as Chinese New Year, but Vietnam counts its days in UTC+7 and China in UTC+8. Hourora works out the new moon and the winter solstice for Vietnam and counts to midnight in your own time zone.

How the date is worked out
Hourora computes these dates from published rules. Where a date depends on a local decision, such as moon-sighting or a regional panchang, the caveat above says so; the countdown is to the start of the calendar day in your own time zone.
