On the Thanh Minh Festival, which falls on the fourth of April (26th day of the second lunar month), Vietnamese people prepare an altar at home and at their ancestors' gravesite to pay homage. The altar typically consists of savory or vegetarian dishes, mock money, and other offerings.

To ward off bad luck for the rest of the year, it is imperative to be mindful of certain taboos during Qingming Festival. Refrain from revelry, don muted colors instead of vibrant attire, and forgo travel plans to honor the solemnity of this occasion.
