The Hanoi Tourism Ao dai Festival 2023 took place in the pedestrian area of Hoan Kiem Lake on October 27-29, promoting the elegant beauty of the ao dai (Vietnamese traditional long dress) and Hanoi's tourism.
Designers Dung Nguyen and Thach Linh have introduced a collection of “ao dai” (Vietnamese traditional dress) to the public that depict the beauty of Hanoi in the past and present. The designs aim to showcase the capital’s rich cultural heritage to international visitors.
