Vietnam's Lunar New Year is calculated according to the lunar calendar, later than the New Year (or Western New Year). Due to the rule of 3 leap years and a month of the lunar calendar, the first day of the Lunar New Year is never before January 21 of the solar calendar and after February 19 of the solar calendar, but usually falls in the middle of these days.

The time of the annual Lunar New Year usually lasts about 7-8 days at the end of the old year and the first 7 days of the new year (December 23 to the end of January 7).
