Do Vietnamese people celebrate Qingming Festival? How do the Kinh people pay respect to their ancestors? Talking about this topic, we have to discuss Vietnamese culture. In fact, many cultures in Vietnam originate from ancient China. After all, Vietnam was once under our jurisdiction and was influenced a lot by Chinese traditional culture. When it comes to major festivals, Vietnam celebrates some of the same festivals as us, such as Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. As for the differences, that would be the way of paying respect to ancestors. We have the Qingming Festival, while Vietnam has the Ha Festival. In fact, Vietnam also celebrates the Qingming Festival, but not as grandly as the Ha Festival.
