VietNamNet Bridge – Through skillful hands, after about an hour, watermelons become artworks for display on the altar during Lunar New Year (Tet).

Carving special patterns such as scripts, the 12 animal designations, the God of Luck, etc. on watermelons has become a special job before Tet.

Carved watermelons are sold for VND150,000-VND200,000 ($7-9)/fruit.

Some young students earn a lot of money thanks to this seasonal job.
