In Khanh Hoa province, there is also salangane’s nest (yen sao). It is as valuable as Tram Huong. Both Tram Huong and salangane’s nest represent the distinctive features of Khanh Hoa province. They symbolize the nobility and faithfulness of the province. Although salangane’s nests are always available, but not many families use them to celebrate the Lunar New Year (Traditional Tet). On the contrary, Tram Huong is always used to worship Gods and ancestors.
