Admiring once-lost traditional lanterns at Thang Long Imperial Citadel

A Mid-Autumn Festival event with the theme “Shimmering autumn lights” is taking place at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel in Hanoi, creating a unique atmosphere to captivate children and tourists alike.

A space where old street stalls are recreated at Thang Long Imperial Citadel, displaying traditional lanterns. These are models of Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns that were once lost and have been restored by artisans.

Using traditional materials such as “do” paper, bamboo, and others, these traditional lanterns, including carp-shaped lanterns and crab-shaped ones, have been vividly and attractively restored.

Visitors to the exhibition space, especially children, will have the chance to learn about traditional toys available only during the Mid-Autumn Festival, raising their appreciation of traditional culture.  

The Mid-Autumn Festival event at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel will last until the end of this month./.
